Children's Beliefs about the Causes of Success and Failure in School Settings.

Frieze, Irene Hanson; Snyder, Howard Nelson

Journal of Educational Psychology, v72 n2 p186-96 Apr 1980

Children from a Catholic elementary school were interviewed to determine what they saw as probable causes for success or failure in four situations: a school testing situation an art project, playing football, and catching frogs. Causal explanations were found to differ across the four situations. (Author/GDC)
