Abstract
Summary Three widely used attitudinal instruments were administered to samples of American (N = 347) and Venezuelan (N = 294) schoolchildren in grades 4 through 11. Important cultural differences in attitudes relating to academic achievement motivation and internal-external locus of control were revealed; no cultural differences in self-esteem were obtained. Results of the study lend support to the “child-rearing practices” explanation of cultural differences.
