They learn how to deal with competition at a time when it's not really important. They don't have that perspective, though. I realize how important EVERYTHING is when you're a teen. I marvel at my 16 year old and how she is learning to be an adult.

Positive Effects Of Competition
2016-11-04 21:14:23 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Normally, competition among adolescents bring positive effects... in a sense that will rather enhance their ability to survive, allow them to determine their flaws and so they make better amendments or improvements to their performances, or determine their potentials.
The only thing I think which could be the negative effect a compettion brings is that, the losing person rather stick to the loss or takes the loss seriously and will rather try not to engage in any competition anymore. Like losing ones self-confidence. But that should not be, although people are not the same so the negative effect is still possible.

There's a certain theist that has a positive effect on me every second of the day. The last real negative effect was 2 years ago, when I was locked in a room and a person attempted to convert me.

They are similar to the effects for adults.
Positive effects:
Competition encourages them to try harder and excel.
Competition shows them what is possible; i.e. if she can do that, maybe I can do that too; it broadens their mind and opens it to new possibilities. Competition can boost self esteem when they do well. It can teach them a good work ethic - they will find that when they practice or work harder, then they will get rewarded with better results in competition.
Negative effects:
They may focus on winning at any cost; this can lead to cheating, and hurting other people. It may hurt their self esteem if they always lose. They may come to believe that winning is more important than playing well or having fun or being safe. If they are at a severe genetic advantage (if they are competing at things at which they are doomed to do poorly; i.e. a child who is not very bright competing with gifted students) they may come to feel that they are just a born loser and quit trying.
