Jennings, Kay Donahue; And Others
Journal of the Division for Early Childhood, v9 n2 p162-69 Spr 1985
In a study involving 25 physically handicapped and 44 nonhandicapped preschoolers, two aspects --persistence and curiosity-- of mastery motivation were assessed with structured tasks. Free play was also observed to assess motivation in an unstructured setting, and mothers' perceptions of motivation levels were assessed. Results indicated that a handicapping condition affected the development of mastery motivation. (Author/CL)
