Abstract
This longitudinal study related children's mastery motivation to a variety of biological, environmental, and developmental factors. The sample consisted of 40 children (24 males) with motor delays (10.93 ± 2.56 months corrected age at baseline), tested at baseline and 3-, 6-, 12-, and 36-months post-baseline. No significant relations were observed between mastery motivation and sex (biological factor) or socioeconomic status and home affordances (environmental factors). Children with mild motor delays (biological risk) had higher mastery motivation at the age of four years compared to children with significant delays. Advanced early development of fine motor, receptive language, expressive language, means-end problem-solving, and cognitive skills was associated with higher mastery motivation at four years. Mastery motivation may be linked with children's level of physical disability as well as their prior developmental experience.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
