Effects of Self-Concept on Children's Causal Attributions and Self-Reinforcement.
Ames, Carole; Felker, Donald W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v71 n5 p613-19 Oct 1979
Sixth-grade children classified as high or low in self-concept were given an achievement task on which they succeeded or failed. High, more than low, self-concept children attributed their success to the skill cue. High self-concept children also engaged in more self-reward for success. (Author/RD)
