Previous experiments have demonstrated that it is possible to raise children's expectations for their own performance at tasks resembling classroom tasks. Experiments reported here show that children will generalize such raised expectations from one task to a second dissimilar task; if children's performance at one task (involving planning a meal) are positively evaluated, they will raise their expectations for their own performance at another task (story telling) where the two tasks require different skills and different knowledge. Results of the present experiments on raising expectations are consistent with previous experiments in that the generalization effect, while significant, is smaller in magnitude than the direct effect.
