Abstract
Either positive or negative feedback was given to seventy‐two college students about performance on an ability test. As is usually found, feedback was highly related to students' subsequent self‐assessments. Positive and negative feedback were of roughly equal importance when the source of feedback is ignored. However, considering source, negative feedback had greater impact when coming from peers; positive feedback was stronger when coming from a person of higher status.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
