How to Promote Social Approval: Effects of Audience and Achievement Outcome on Publicly Communicated Attributions.
Juvonen, Jaana; Murdock, Tamera B.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n2 p365-76 Jun 1993

Results suggest that adolescents possess very sophisticated knowledge about attributional principles and the expectations and concerns of various social groups. (SLD)
