Achievement Motives, Incentive Values, and Attribution.

Haugen, Richard; Lund, Thorleif

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v44 n4 p423-32 Dec 2000

Studied how achievement motives and incentive values were related to attribution for 166 advanced education majors in Norway. As expected, success-oriented persons attributed positive events more internally, stably, and globally, and negative events more externally, unstably, and specifically, than did failure-avoidant persons.
