*Incremental Theorists

Both desire similar outcome of achieving good scores and doing "well" - have different motivation for pursuing the outcome
Entity Theorists
Intelligence is fixed
-A trait largely determined by nature
Performance Goal: seeking to validate ability as good relative to others
Incremental Theorists
Intelligence is malleable
- Quality that can be increased through nurture
Learning Goal: Seeking to develop ability

Unidimensional Sociometric Techniques
*Give survey to children in class and have them rate other children on one dimension
Problem with Unidimensional Sociometric Technique
-Findings

*Rejection dimension
*Acceptance dimension
THEREFORE
*Sociability = acceptance but not rejection
*Negative social behavior = rejection but not acceptance
Two-dimensional Sociometric Techniques

2: Aggression - moving against people
3: Withdrawal - moving away from people

Prior Popularity - positively related to academic achievement, social skill, self-worth
Prior Rejection: negatively related to academic achievement and self-worth; unrelated to social skill
Causal Mode Explanation
Deviant Behavior - Low Peer Acceptance - Deviant Socialization/Experiences/Opportunities - Maladjusted outcomes
Incidental Mode
Underlying disturbance - Deviant Behavior -(Low peer acceptance/Maladjusted Outcomes)
