Internal and External Attributions for Levels of Perceived Physical Competence in Children with Mental Retardation.
Kozub, Francis M.; Porretta, David L.
Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, v34 n1 p35-42 Mar 1999

Although internal attributions increased with age, in general, the children tended to select a large proportion of external rationales of competent outcomes that may impact negatively on self-esteem.
