Abstract

Feedback valence and feedback receivers' characteristics have an impact on feedback processing. Thus, this study investigated to what extent are the receiver's perceived adequacy of feedback (PAF), emotional response (affect: AF), and willingness to improve (WI) their performance in response to feedback valence (positive vs. negative) influenced by this receiver's beliefs (utility, sensitivity, confidentiality, retention) about feedback. Bachelors' and master's students from different countries and universities (N = 85) filled an online survey, where they completed the IFOS questionnaire regarding their beliefs about feedback in terms of utility, sensitivity, confidentiality, and retention; and received two fictional scenarios containing different hypothetical feedback situations, where the feedback valence was manipulated. After each scenario, participants filled out the FPQ questionnaire and rated their perceptions as if they received the feedback themselves. According to the results, students perceived the given feedback as more adequate, it led to a more positive affect and they were more willing to improve their performances in response to the vignette with positive valence than the vignette with negative valence. Utility and sensitivity influence PAF, AF, and WI; confidentiality influenced WI, and retention influenced PAF and WI. Keywords: feedback, beliefs about feedback, feedback perceptions, feedback valence, feedback processing
