Feedback Seeking in Children and Adolescents: Associations with Self-Perceptions, Attachment Representations, and Depression.

Cassidy, Jude; Ziv, Yair; Mehta, Tara G.; Feeney, Brooke C.

Child Development, v74 n2 p612-28 Mar-Apr 2003

Two experiments examined 12- and 17-year-olds' active selection of quality of feedback they wished from peers. Findings indicated that participants with positive self-perceptions sought feedback that was more positive than participants with negative self-perceptions and sought more positive feedback than expected by chance. Participants with negative self-perceptions sometimes sought feedback that was less positive than expected by chance. Depression and attachment-related measures related to feedback seeking.
