Joint Influence of Prior Beliefs and Current Situational Information on Stable and Unstable Attributions.

Mikulincer, Mario

Journal of Social Psychology, v130 n6 p739-53 Dec 1990

Uses a Hebrew version of the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ) to assess the attributional style among 120 Israeli undergraduate students. Students were asked whether their performance of a cognitive task was a result of personal or situational factors. Findings suggest that attributional style and situational cues contribute to the quality of students' performance following failure. (NL)
