摘要

爲探討中國兒童之性別、制握傾向與學業成就之交互關係，智學責任問卷(IAR)經譯爲中文並施測於兩所台灣中部之小學，受試兒童包括四至六年級之男生164人，女生155人。國語、數學社會、自然、社會四科之學期總平均成績作爲學業成就之指數。結果發現：(1)一般而言，女生較男生爲內制，特別對於智力與學業活動的失敗，女生强烈地表示其責在我；(2)制握傾向與學業成績的相關，對於男生頗爲顯著，對於女生則不顯著。由此推論，其責在我的信念（內制傾向）對於男生而言可能構成助長學業的一項動機性要素；對於女生而言，此種信念似不過反映其社會期望價値而已。

並列摘要

The Intellectual Academic Responsibility (IAR) Questionnaire was translated into Chinese and administered in two elementary schools in Taiwan, Republic of China. The subjects consisted of 164 boys and 155 girls from grades 4 to 6. An average grade in four major subjects in a semester served as an achievement index. It was found that: (1) girls were more internally controlled than boys, especially in the belief that they are responsible for their intellectual-academic failures; (2) the relationships between locus of control and academic performance was more consistent for boys than for girls. It was concluded that a belief in self-responsibility probably constitutes a motivational influence upon academic performance for Chinese boys, but only represents an ingredient of social desirability for Chinese girls.
