Attributional Style and School Truancy.
Kee, Tony Tam Shui
Early Child Development and Care, v169 p21-38 Aug 2001
Argues that little research has been directed toward exploring cognitive variables that characterize students with poor school attendance. Presents the findings of a pilot study that compared a small sample of truants and non-truants on locus of control and attributional style. Finds that attributional style is a significant factor in explaining why some students are truant from school. (Author)
