Self-, Ingroup, and Outgroup Achievement Attributions of German and Turkish Pupils.

Hewstone, Miles; And Others

Journal of Social Psychology, v129 n4 p459-70 Aug 1989

Investigates intergroup bias in achievement attributions in a sample of 15-year-old German and Turkish pupils in the Federal Republic of Germany. Found that ingroup attribution bias was limited rather than ubiquitous. Discusses the inventive nature of student explanations for ability-linked performance and the motivational consequences of causal attributions. (LS/Author)
