The need for achievement is
Children are able to develop relatively strong achievement strivings when they are provided with independence training, high performance aspirations, realistic standards of excellence, high ability self-concepts (e.g. “this task will be easy for you”), a positive valuing of achievement-related pursuits, explicit standards of excellence, a home environment rich in stimulation potential, a wide extent of experiences (e.g. traveling) and exposure to children’s readers rich in achievement imagery (Rosen & D’Andrade, 1959). This development
Pride emerges from a developmental history of success episodes ending in mastery and task success, and shame emerges from a developmental history of failure episodes ending in ridicule (Stipek, 1983). Strong academic achievement along with high-quality relationships and having high-quality peer relationships are predicted through the person’s emotional regulation skills (Gumora & Arsenio, 2002)
