Laffoon, Kathy Seat; And Others
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v13 n1 p4-21 Fall 1989
A study comparing mean locus of control and attribution scores of 137 elementary students found that underachieving gifted students' mean attribution scores were higher than other groups for ability in success situations. Underachieving gifted and non-gifted students' mean scores were higher than achieving gifted peers for externality and luck in failure situations. (Author/JDD)
