Attributions and Emotions Related to Future Goal Attainment.

Zaleski, Zbigniew

Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n4 p563-68 Dec 1988

Causal ascriptions for anticipated goal attainment and the emotional consequences of such ascriptions were studied in 731 college students answering questionnaires. Internal and external attributions were made for past outcomes. Subjects felt that internal factors accounted more for success, and external, for failure. (SLD)
