Smith, Ronald E.; Smoll, Frank L.
Developmental Psychology, v26 n6 p987-93 Nov 1990
Studied the attraction responses of child athletes to coaches who differed in their behavior patterns during the season. Children with low self-esteem responded positively to coaches with high self-esteem and negatively to coaches with low self-esteem on the instructiveness and supportiveness dimensions. Moderate- and high-self-esteem children showed no variable response. (BC)
