Effects of Model Persistence and Statements of Confidence on Children's Self-Efficacy and Problem Solving.
Zimmerman, Barry J.; Ringle, Jeffrey
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n4 p485-93 Aug 1981
The influence of an adult model's degree of persistence and statements of confidence were studied with 100 first and second grade Black and Hispanic children from a lower-class, urban school. The model duration of performance and statements of confidence increased the children's degree of persistence. (Author/GK)
