Enhancing Academic Achievement in College Students through Attributional Retraining and Instruction.

Perry, Raymond P.; Penner, Kurt S.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p262-71 Jun 1990

Attributional retraining--a therapeutic method of reinstating psychological control--of 198 Canadian college students through a videotaped lecture enabled external locus of control students to learn more and make better use of homework study materials but offered no advantage to internal locus students. Results are interpreted in a social cognition framework. (SLD)
