Attribution Theory and Unemployment: Kelley's Covariation Model, Self-Esteem, and Locus of Control.

Hesketh, Beryl

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v24 n1 p94-109 Feb 1984

Investigated the validity of applying Kelley's covariation attribution model to unemployment. Results of a laboratory study of 168 students supported the model, but a field study of 82 unemployed did not. The relationship of self-esteem and locus of control to attributions of success and failure was examined. (JAC)
