Project 7: Age differences and age-related changes in the persistence of expectations

Prof. Dr. Martin Pinquart

PhD Students: Martin Pietzsch, Markus Ebeling

By carrying out experiments with children (age range 6 to 12 years), this subproject aims to investigate whether the persistence of expectations about one's future performance varies with age and which cognitive, motivational and social factors (such as the source of feedback on one’s performance) explain such age differences.
