Perceived Control, Type A/B Behavior, and Quality of Instruction.
Perry, Raymond P.; Tunna, Kate
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n1 p102-10 Mar 1988
Type A and B students (N=159) received contingent or non-contingent feedback on an aptitude test, attended a lecture from an expressive or unexpressive instructor, and received an achievement test and attributional questionnaire. Non-contingent feedback lowered perceived control for both types. Self-perceptions of Type A students were unaffected by instructional quality. (SLD)
