College Students' Attributions for Performance on Cooperative Tasks.

Peterson, Sarah E.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v17 n2 p114-24 Apr 1992

Causal attributions of 96 college students' performance in cooperative group assignments, and students' perceptions of the underlying dimensions of causal attributions (including relationships among performance outcomes, attributional dimensions, and attributional consequences) were examined. Locus of causality was related to affective reactions. Stability was related to expectancy for future success. (SLD)
