The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat: Children's Self and Interpersonal Evaluations in Competitive and Noncompetitive Learning Environments.
Ames, Carole; Ames, Russell
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v12 n1 p79-87 Fall 1978

Reward structures have different implications for children differing in self-concept level. Implications for the classroom are drawn. (SJL)
