	  abstract     = {This study examines whether contrived success on a
task closely related to school subjects would promote students-
self-efficacy. In our previous study, junior high school students who
experienced contrived success on anagram tasks raised their sense of
self-efficacy and kept it high for a year.We tried to replicate that study,
substituting calculation tasks for the anagrams. One hundred eighteen
junior high school students participated in this study, 18 of whom were
surreptitiously given easier tasks than their classmates. Those students
with easier tasks outperformed their peers and thereby raised their
sense of self-efficacy. However, elevated self-efficacy did not persist,
falling to the starting level after only three months.},
