RattanMotivation - Ch14 - from Rattan et al. (2012)

Description

How do you think you would react to feedback that gave encouragement and reassurance, or, instead, encouragement and challenge? Carol Dweck and her colleagues have investigated many such questions about how people respond to different types of feedback. My next example comes from Dweck's research group and illustrates data analysis that starts with the full data, rather than only summary statistics. Rattan et al. (2012) asked their college student participants to imagine they were undertaking a mathematics course and had just received a low score (65%) on the first test of the year. Participants were assigned randomly into three groups, which received different feedback along with the low score. The Comfort group received positive encouragement and also reassurance, the Challenge group received positive encouragement and also challenge, and the Control group received just the positive encouragement. Participants then responded to a range of questions about how they felt about the course and their professor. I'll discuss data for their ratings of their own motivation toward mathematics, made after they had received the feedback.
