Dweck, Carol S. – American Psychologist, 1986
Educationally relevant conceptions of motivation are difficult to establish. A research based model of motivational processes can show how goals for cognitive tasks shape reactions to success and failure and how they influence the quality of cognitive performance. This model can aid in designing programs to change maladaptive motivational…

Fouts, Gregory T. – 1977
Boys and girls (10-11 years) responded in a speed task faster in the presence than absence of an audience. Children were faster with the same-than opposite-sexed audiences. The results were discussed in terms of same-sex competitive motives, sex-stereotypes, and opposite-sex distractability. (Author)

Schneider, Frank W.; Green, Joy E. – Journal of School Psychology, 1977
Sex and need for affiliation (n Aff) were investigated as potential moderators of the association between need for achievement (n Ach) and academic performance. It was hypothesized that high nAch, low n Aff students earn higher grades than high n Ach, high n Aff students. The results for both males and females supported the hypothesis. (Author)

Lunneborg, Patricia; Rosenwood, Linda W. – 1972
This study sought to replicate one in Bardwick's 1971 "Psychology of Women" which found that women were strictly interpersonal and affiliative. The expectation was that the traditional stereotypes of affiliative females and achievement-oriented males would not be as strong today as most people believe. Subjects were 465 college students who…
