title: Self-acceptance and disconfirming feedback as influences upon performance of a gross motor skill.
abstract: High and low self-acceptance subjects (N= 120) were tested under conditions of disconfirming feedback above and below performance expectancy on a gross motor skill. Subjects in the high and low disconfirming feedback groups received confirming feedback after Trials 1 to 4 and disconfirming feedback after Trials 5 to 10. Discrepant feedback as an experimental manipulation did not affect the performance of either group of subjects. The results are discussed in terms of cognitive dissonance theory.
