Abstract
BRYANT, BRENDA K. The Effects of the Interpersonal Context of Evaluation on Selfand OtherEnhancement Behavior. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1977, 48, 885-892. This study examines the effects that cooperative, competitive, and individualistic learning environments had on subsequent spontaneous selfand other-enhancement behavior of children. 180 Caucasians (90 boys and 90 girls) aged 8-10 participated in the first study and 54 children (27 boys and 27 girls) participated in a replication study. The pattern of results indicates that enhancement of self at the expense of others is learned in competitive environments; enhancement of self and others is learned in cooperative environments; and enhancement of self with neither enhancement nor abuse of others is learned in an individualistic learning environment. No sex differences were found.
