Abstract
Children with ADHD participated in a motivation or control intervention. The motivation intervention was aimed at altering their beliefs about the malleability of intelligence, self-efficacy, and emotional control in the face of difficulty. Analyses suggest that participants in the motivation condition may be more likely to persist on challenging tasks.
