Controversies or Consistencies? A Reply to Brown and Weiner.

Covington, Martin V.; Omelich, Carol L.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v76 n1 p159-68 Feb 1984

This rejoinder to Brown and Weiner (TM 509 074) attempts to resolve areas of apparent conflict and to offer a broad synthesis around the self-worth theory of achievement motivation. The different yet compatible aspects of attribution and self-worth theories in regards to achievement effort are discussed. (BS)
