An Attributional Investigation of Performance Outcomes for Learning-Disabled and Normal-Achieving Pupils.
Palmer, Douglas J.; And Others
Journal of Special Education, v16 n2 p207-19 Sum 1982
Thirty learning disabled (LD) and 30 normal achieving (NA) elementary-aged pupils' attributions, expectations, affect, and persistence were assessed. Ability attributions for failure differed for LD and NA pupils. In addition, effort was judged as more important in determining success than failure for both LD and NA pupils. (Author/SB)
