Sex and Locus of Control as Determinants of Children's Responses to Peer versus Adult Praise.
Henry, Susan E.; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n5 p605-12 Oct 1979

Boys were most responsive to peer feedback and girls to adult feedback. Predictions involving locus of control were modestly supported. (Author/RD)
