Armbrister, Robin C.; McCallum, R. Steve; Lee, Hee Do
Psychology in the Schools, v39 n1 p39-49 Jan 2002
American and Korean fourth- and fifth-graders were administered the Student Social Attribution Scale (SSAS), designed to assess students' explanations for social successes and failures. Results reveal that Korean children showed significantly higher Failure Effort scores and American children showed significantly higher Success Ability scores. Findings indicate that Korean children are potentially more willing to accept responsibility for social failure. (Contains 38 references and 2 tables.) (GCP)
