Further Data on the Relationship of Task Success to Liking and Satisfaction

Abstract

Six previous studies ( 1 , 2 ) yielded positive, linear relationships between number of successes on task and ratings of task liking and A recent study ( 3 ) showed similar relationship between task success and ratings of personal The present study examined the relationship of success to both task liking and personal satisfaction in order to compare the strength of the relationships. Ss were 22 male and 23 female paid scudent volunteers from the Universiry of Maryland. Each S worked on 3 0 scrambled words, one at time for 1 min. each; 1 5 Ss had all 4-letter words; 15 Ss had all 7-letter words, and 1 5 Ss had all 10-letter words. At the end of the experiment each S rated his personal satisfaction on bipolar, graphic scale anchored by the statements, a great deal of dissatisfaction and a grear deal of satisfaction. Each S also filled out two graphic scales to indicate liking for the task (anchors were like(d) it very much and dislike(d) it very much). The first (before scale) was filled out after S worked on 8 practice words of varying lengths but before the experimental words; the second (after scale) was given at the end of the experiment.
