Causal Attribution and Information Seeking to Explain Success and Failure
Frieze, Irene Hanson
Journal of Research in Personality, 10, 3, 293-305, Sep 76

It was hypothesized that subjects would spontaneously make attributions to ability, effort, luck and/or task difficulty in all these situations and that they would seek information of the types used in previous studies.
