Attributions, Affect, and Expectations: A Test of Weiner's Three-Dimensional Model.
Forsyth, Donelson R.; McMillan, James H.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n3 p393-403 Jun 1981

Results support the contention that academic failure needn't lead to losses in achievement motivation, depression, or frustration. (Author/GK)
