The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of age on specific psychological and behavioral measures of learned-helpless and mastery-oriented students. The study consisted of two age groups, younger and older, of learned-helplessness and mastery-oriented students. Within each age group, learned-helpless and mastery-oriented students were compared in terms of attributional profiles and levels of task persistence during instruction. Students were asked to view videotapes of their performances, to describe how they thought they did on each task, and to give reasons for their performance. Responses were classified into four attributional categories: (a) ability, (b) effort, (c) task difficulty, and (d) environment or luck. Persistence was also determined by looking at the number of times students would attempt a task. Attributional profiles and task persistence associated with the leamed-helpless condition was more prevalent with the older group than with the younger group.

This study was designed to investigate specific aspects of preschool teacher-child interactions as they relate to task persistence in classroom vs. laboratory settings. It was hypothesized that teacher’s criticism and interference would be associated with low task behavior in children, and that reward would be associated with high task behavior in both the classroom and an experimental setting; and that the children’s task behavior in the two settings would be correlated. The procedure involved observation of teacher and antecedent child behavior in four Montessori classrooms for 8 days; timed observations of percent of time each child spent on-task in the classroom; and an experimental task, given individually outside the classroom. The results confirm all hypothesized relationships except that between reward in the classroom with persistence on the experimental task.
