The Effect of Attribute Statements on Cooperativeness and Competitiveness in School-Age Boys
Abstract
In considering the antecedents of cooperation and competition in school-age children, attention has been given to the role of classroom instructional style, value inculcation, reinforcement, and modeling. The present study is an attempt to modify children's cooperative and competitive behavior through the mechanism of attribution. The research question is simply, Does it predispose one to behave more cooperatively or more competitively to be told that one possesses the appropriate characteristic?

Self-fulfilling prophecies of initially false positive trait ascriptions emerge in many situations, including ascriptions of being tidy, charitable, cooperative, kind, eco-friendly, militarily competent, athletic, and physiological changes.
“SFPs of initially false positive trait ascriptions emerge in many other situations too.They also occurred, for instance, when adults ascribed to children traits such as being tidy (Miller et al. 1975), charitable (Jensen and Moore 1977), or cooperative (Grusec et al. 1978).”

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.
