If
you do not believe me, go watch any
U.9 game, for example, and listen to
the first question a child asks as
he/she comes off of the field. If it
is not "Where's my snack,"
it will be "Did we win?" The
child at this age understands that
winning is important, loves to
compete, but does not understand
winning and losing in any systematic
sense. Because of this, they will not
feel sad until a parent or coach
informs them that they lost and
accompany this information with a
positive or negative emotional
reaction.
Around
the age of 11-12 years, however,
children develop the capacity to
differentiate ability from effort and
now understand that effort can only
help their performance up to their
current level of ability. For example,
at this age a slow player recognizes
that no matter how hard they try, they
will not outrun the fastest player on
the team. As a consequence of this
developmental change, after the age of
11-12 individuals can choose to define
success in two different ways, namely
in a child like-way fashion in which
improvement and effort are critical,
or a more adult way in which
outperforming others is stressed.
These different ways of perceiving
success manifest themselves in an
individuals task or ego goal
orientation.
Ego
oriented individuals perceive success
in terms of winning and outperforming
others and believe that if they
outperform someone with minimum effort
they have demonstrated even higher an
even higher level of perceived
ability. These individuals believe
that success is determined by ability
and that cheating and deception may be
acceptable behaviors if they enable
them to achieve their goal of winning
