Cassidy, Jude Ziv, Yair Mehta, Tara G Feeney, Brooke Feedback seeking in children and adolescents: associations with self-perceptions, attachment representations, and depression. <p>Because the feedback children and adolescents receive is important to their development, 2 experimental studies were designed to examine children's (M = 12 years) and adolescents' (M = 17 years) active selection of the quality of feedback they wish to receive. In both studies evidence emerged that participants' self-perceptions influence their feedback seeking. Participants with positive self-perceptions sought more positive feedback than participants with negative self-perceptions and sought more positive feedback than expected by chance. Participants with negative self-perceptions lacked this tendency to seek positive feedback and sometimes sought less positive feedback than expected by chance. As expected, depression and attachment-related measures were also associated with participants' feedback seeking. Contributions of feedback-seeking patterns to stability and change in children's and adolescents' development are discussed.</p> Adolescent;Child;Depression;Feedback;Female;Humans;Male;Object Attachment;Questionnaires;Self Concept;Social Behavior 2003-03-01
