The Interactive Relationship between Self-Esteem and Task Performance on Causal Attribution.

Burke, Joy Patricia

Social Behavior and Personality, v6 n2 p211-21 1978

Investigated the relationship between self-esteem and performance outcome as related to causal attribution. Results indicated that: (1) success was attributed more to ability and effort; (2) performance outcomes consistent with self-esteem were attributed more to ability and task difficulty; and (3) performance outcomes inconsistent with self-esteem were attributed to luck.
