The Development of Achievement-Related Expectancies
Abstract
PARSONS, JACQUELYNNE E., and RUBLE, DIANE N. The Development of Achievement-related Expectancies. CmLD DEVELOPMENT, 1977, 48, 1075-1079. This study investigated the development of achievement-related expectancies. Based on the models of attribution and cognitive developmental theory and on past research, it was predicted that younger children would relate past history of outcomes to expectancies differently than older children, that sex differences in expectancies would not be present in the preschool-age group, and that older children would have the lowest expectancies. As predicted, success/failure experiences had a more systematic effect on school-age children's expectancies than on the expectancies of preschoolers, and older children consistently reported lower expectancies. In addition, the subject's sex in interaction with age influenced both initial expectancy and the use of outcome information.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
