Causal Perceptions of Success and Failure by Advantaged, Integrated and Disadvantaged Pupils.

Raviv, A.; And Others

British Journal of Educational Psychology, v50 pt2 p137-46 Jun 1980

Following a mathematics test, 134 sixth-graders from different social class/national origin groups, were asked to attribute causality for their success or failure. All groups tended to attribute success more to internal than external causes and more to stable than unstable causes. Attributions of failure varied between the groups. (Author/SJL)
