10th-grade students were assigned to groups of 10 students each. In 17 groups praise for group participation was given individually, but only to students in odd-numbered seats. The praised students later received significantly more sociometric choices. As a check, 16 additional groups were given group praise for participation. Here there was no tendency for the students in odd-numbered seats to receive more choices.
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.
