Thanks for sharing these references. I found these links that might be of interest: http://www.psych.uiuc.edu/~yyhong/papers/old-papers/A44.Hong%20et%20al.%20JPSP.pdf http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/shows/detail1011.html I wonder if the "Brainology" software mentioned in http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2007/february7/dweck-020707.html might have any useful interaction with Sugar.
