Abstract

Research suggests that the decision to engage in feedback seeking behavior will depend both on expected diagnosticity of the feedback message and on the seekers expectations about his or her performance level. An experiment was conducted in which both of these factors were manipulated. It was predicted that poor performers would seek diagnostic feedback (feedback that could be used to improve future performance) more frequently than non-diagnostic feedback, whereas good performers would seek feedback regardless of diagnosticity. The results suggest that individuals will be most likely to seek feedback when they expect it to be both diagnostic and favorable. Implications of this finding are discussed. Verf.-Referat
