Data confirmed Kukla's attributional theory of performance. When a task is perceived to be difficult, high resultant achievers perform better than low resultant achievers, whereas the low motive group proves to be superior to the high group when the task is perceived as easy. (Author/RK)

Results of the study generally support the position that moral ideology is related to identity status. (Authors)

Results of experiment clearly indicate the superiority of forward associations. (Author)

These results stand in sharp contrast to those previously reported which concluded that most college students will abandon conservation; the present finding is of strong (though less than perfect) resistance. (Authors/CB)

Experiments designed to investigate performance on a complex task as it varies with training. (Author)

This paper specifically examines the role of causal schemata in determining achievement-related causal judgments. (Author)

Study focused on microteaching and the effects of this particular mode of skill training on the classroom performance of student teachers. (Author)

The Zeigarnik effect, that is, the greater recall of incompleted over completed tasks was found to be significantly more frequent in Ss of high than low resultant achievement motivation, but no difference was found between repressors and sensitizers in this effect. (Authors)

Study attempts to examine the way in which the introduction of an environmental variable, in this case music, affects different indicators of vigilance performance. (Author/RK)

Results support predictions from Trait-State Anxiety Theory that negative feedback constitutes a threat to self-esteem and thus is perceived as more threatening by high A-Trait than by low A-Trait subjects. (Author)

Results suggested that it may be possible to seek most efficient'' strategies for given tasks, and possibly, conditionally'' most efficient strategies for individual ability profiles. (Author)

Findings provide information about developmental differences in sorting and recall, as well as evidence that organizational training may influence recall performance. (Authors)

Research was designed to determine whether developmental differences in sensitivity to more peripherally presented material could be found under conditions in which overt eye movements during the presentation of task material were not possible. (Author)

Shows that subjects who receive the impression that psychology experiments are worthless exert less time and effort in task performance than subjects who believe in favorable comments, although both groups indicate similar amounts of effort on self-rating scales. Bibliography and table. (RW)
