Ames, Carole A.
Effects of competitive reward structure and valence of outcome on children's achievement attributions created by Carole A. Ames, Russell Ames and Donald W. Felker - An international journal of experimental educational psychology Volume 69 , number 1, .
Fifth-grade boys solved sets of achievement-related puzzles, working in pairs in which one succeeded and one failed. Results showed the reward structure of the performance setting was an important determinant of self and interpersonal evaluations. Competitive conditions caused self-punitive behavior for failure outcomes and some ego-enhancing strategies for success outcomes.
