Eighteen children referred to clinics because they lacked adequate motor competence and 18 well-coordinated children were compared on measures of goal-setting, selfconcept and locus of control.

The three different measures of self-regard did not, however, correlate with one another.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
