Ability and Effort Valuation among Failure-Avoiding and Failure-Accepting Students.
Covington, Martin V.; Omelich, Carol L.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n4 p446-59 Aug 1985
Shame is a global emotion that shares an ability-linked component (humiliation) and an effort-linked component (guilt). Effort was found to increase humiliation via inability ascriptions because a combination of high effort and failure implies low ability. Conversely, high effort was found to decrease the guilt component of shame. (Author/DWH)
