Causal Attributions of Success and Failure among Chicano University Students.
Ramirez, Albert; Soriano, Fernando
Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v3 n4 p397-407 Dec 1981

Students who graduated from college attributed their success to internal factors, while students who did not graduate attributed their failure to external factors. (Author/CM)
