Abstract

Summary Forty males and 40 females from the first and third grades evaluated the achievement behavior of hypothetical others and completed four cognitive tasks designed to assess their level of cognitive maturity. Results revealed that effort, ability, and outcome were influential evaluative determinants for both age groups and that even preoperational children used effort and outcome to evaluate the preformance of others. The results suggest that social and nonsocial cognition are distinct domains.
