Emotional Correlates of Attributions for Academic Success and Failure: Sex Differences

Abstract

dc:description

Two hundred seven students in a junior high and high school program for gifted children served as subjects in a study of the relationships among attributions for success and failure, sex, achievement, and three dysfunctional affective states (depression, hostility, and anxiety). The purpose of the study was to extend previous attribution theory and research to the additional variables presented in Weiner's (1979) expanded taxonomy, with special attention paid to affective correlates of attributional patterns and to sex differences.
