Parent and teacher perceptions of young children's mastery motivation: Assessment and review of research

This chapter reviews the published and unpublished research about parent and teacher ratings of young children's mastery motivation. The Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ), or its predecessor the Mother's Observation of Mastery Motivation (MOMM), has been used with over thirty samples of 1-5-year-olds, including normally developing, developmentally delayed and premature children.
