| Abstract: | This study examined the effects of cooperative and competitive goal structures on children's evaluations of the learning experience and on children's self-reward. Fourth-graders (n=180) were assigned to learning groups of three children each by a stratified (sex and ability) random sampling procedure. Groups were assigned to either the group (cooperative) or individual (competitive) condition. Cooperative subjects worked together on a project, and all were rewarded for their efforts. Competitive subjects worked independently and only one randomly selected "winner" was rewarded. The effects of "failure" and of "success" depended on a number of variables other than the amount of reward received; for example, on whether the subject saw the reward as deserved and the distribution of rewards as fair. The author notes that one goal for future research in this area is to define these modifying circumstances more specifically. (Author/PC) |
