Abstract
The present investigation revealed that sex appears to be a relevant variable in the selection of self-regulated study in a college course in introductory psychology. Other measures such as real-ideal discrepancies in the evaluation of academic performance and the attempt to raise one’s grade by obtaining extra credit seem independent of sex but related to factors unique to a lecture or an independent option. Finally, ratings of the extent to which the course met students’ preconceived conceptions may be related to sexual roles, but such interpretations are mostly speculative.Keywords
