Mapping the affective domain in young adolescents

Mapping the affective domain in young adolescents Administered the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, the Bialer Locus of Control Scale, Herman's Prestatie Motivatie Test, and the Defining Issues Test to 885 ll-16 yrs olds in an effort to "map" the affective domain. Interest centered on sex differences, developmental trends, relationships between the instruments, and the relationship between the affective and cognitive domains, the latter being assessed by scores on the language portion of the Stanford Achievement Test. As predicted, sex and age effects varied considerably from trait to trait. Females evidenced greater stability in affective behavior than males. Two explanations for this finding are discussed: one credits females with greater emotional maturity than males, the other regards early adolescence as a less stressful time for females than males.

Abstract

Administered the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, the Bialer Locus of Control Scale, Herman's Prestatie Motivatie Test, and the Defining Issues Test to 885 ll-16 yrs olds in an effort to "map" the affective domain. Interest centered on sex differences, developmental trends, relationships between the instruments, and the relationship between the affective and cognitive domains, the latter being assessed by scores on the language portion of the Stanford Achievement Test. As predicted, sex and age effects varied considerably from trait to trait. Females evidenced greater stability in affective behavior than males. Two explanations for this finding are discussed: one credits females with greater emotional maturity than males, the other regards early adolescence as a less stressful time for females than males.
