成功・失敗経験が課題解決事態に及ぼす影響

Abstract

This study aimed at analyzing the effects of succeeding and failing experiences on the solving puzzle tasks of people with physical disabilities, polio, compared with people without such disabilities. Eighteen disabled people with polio and nineteen people without disabilities took part in the experiment. The experiment consisted of pre-session, middle-session, and last-session. The performance and the change of feeling of subjects in each session were analyzed. The results were as follows: (a) Individual performance patterns of pre-session might be divided into 3 types: the success-failure alternated style pattern, initial success experience style pattern, and initial failure experience style pattern. The success-failure alternated style pattern was seen mostly in the high-performence group of people with disabilities.(b) In spite of failing experiences in middle-session, the group of people with disabilities did not lose together their motivation and interest in the task, and their feeling of satisfaction. The group of people without disabilities showed a reduced result. The results suggested that the initial experience was important, and the success-failure alternated experience showed effectiveness for tolerance in a failure experience.
