Effects of Causal Attributions for Success on First-Term College Performance: A Covariance Structure Model.
Platt, Craig W.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v80 n4 p569-78 Dec 1988
A structural model of the consequences of success attributions--derived from B. Weiner's attribution model--was tested using 208 first-term college students. Although the hypothesized model was rejected based on a chi-square, goodness-of-fit test, a specification search yielded a model that fit the data and was consistent with Weiner's theory. (SLD)
