Causal Loops and Other Intercausal Perceptions in Attributions for Exam Performance.
Porac, Joseph F.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v73 n4 p587-601 Aug 1981

It was observed that the students perceived a number of both unidirectional and bidirectional intercausal effects; these were related to both perceived success and causal attributions. (Author/GK)
