动机无助，与智力的概念，已被很好地记录在年龄较大的儿童。 虽然一些研究人员报告说，刚开始上学的孩子在动机上是无懈可击的，但其他人发现，当这些孩子遇到失败时，他们会感到无助。 本研究旨在确定是否与无助相关的反应可以确定在一个新的背景下，批评，以及是否有任何这样的反应与孩子的善良的概念。 受试者是107名5 - 6岁的儿童，他们制定了教师批评的成就情况。 39%的儿童，他们自己的评估被破坏的批评表现出的影响，任务的选择，和非建设性的解决问题的策略无助的特点。 他们也更有可能在批评后做出全面的负面自我判断，包括对自己善良的负面判断。 最后，这些孩子更倾向于支持关于善良的稳定和全面的信念。
Motivational helplessness, linked to conceptions of intelligence, has been well documented in older children. While some researchers have reported that children just starting school are motivationally invulnerable, others have found evidence of helplessness when these children encounter failure. The present study seeks to determine whether the reactions associated with helplessness can be identified in a new context, that of criticism, and whether any such responses are related to the child's conceptions of goodness. Subjects were 107 5- and 6-year-old children who enacted achievement situations in which teacher criticism was presented. The 39% of children whose own assessments were undermined by criticism exhibited the affect, task choices, and nonconstructive problem-solving strategies characteristic of helplessness. They were also more likely to make global negative self-judgments following criticism, including negative judgments of their goodness. Finally, these children were more likely to endorse stable and global beliefs about goodness.
