Introduction

This article critique summarizes a study that investigated children's expectations of self-disclosure about successes and failures. The study aimed to explore whether school-aged children would share information about their successes or failures on puzzles in different experiments. It hypothesized that children would be less likely to disclose failures to avoid negative social judgments, but may hide successes to prevent appearing arrogant. The independent variables were success, defined as accomplishing a goal, and failure, defined as inability to perform a task. The dependent variable was the level of disclosure about successes or failures.

ARTICLE CRITIQUE

INTRODUCTION

This section of the critique introduces the study’s purpose, variables, and hypothesis.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY


The purpose of this study was to investigate preschool and school age children’s expectations
of self- disclosure in different experiments or to explore school age children failure and
successes.

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:
SUCESSS:
Success: is defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. In this study the case of
success can inform others of ones capabilities and garner social and academics accolades, but
children may hide information about successes to avoid being seen as arrogant.

DEPENDENT VARIABLE:
FAILURE:
Failure: is defined as lack of success or the inability to perform a normal function. In this study it
shows children will hide their poor performances from their peers to avoid negative social
judgements and a diminished reputation from their peers.

HYPOTHESIS
In this study, the researchers did two experiments to find out if children would share their
successes or failures whether they solved the puzzle and if they could not solve the puzzles how
many would ask for help
