Harris, Abigail M.; Covington, Martin V.
Journal of Experimental Education, v61 n2 p151-68 Win 1993
Self-worth-related consequences of success and failure for low and high performers under cooperative and competitive reward structure were compared in 282 middle school students solving puzzles. Results illustrate that, regardless of reward structure, success and failure play a critical role in reducing the impact of individual performance differences. (SLD)
