Results indicated that United States but not rural Mexican mothers gave contingently based on their child's success or failure. Rural Mexican mothers, however, unlike United States mothers, gave more to boys than girls. Punishment was rare in all 3 cultural groups, but use of both punishment and non contingent reinforcement tended to be more common among lower-income mothers. These findings are potential explanations of cultural and economic class differences in achievement motivation, competitiveness, and locus of control. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1975 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
