Effects of No Feedback, Task-Related Comments, and Grades on Intrinsic Motivation and Performance.
Butler, Ruth; Nisan, Mordecai
Journal of Educational Psychology, v78 n3 p210-16 Jun 1986
A study tested the hypothesis that intrinsic motivation would be maintained after receipt of nonthreatening, task-related evaluation and undermined after repeated non-receipt of feedback or receipt of controlling normative grades. Results confirmed the hypothesis and revealed significant group differences in intrinsic motivation as reflected in performance and attitudes. (Author/LMO)
