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

Black first graders varying in internal-external control completed digit substitution problems during which performance was praised by a Black boy and girl or a Black man and woman. Boys were most responsive to peer feedback and girls to adult feedback. Predictions involving locus of control were modestly supported. (Author/RD)
