Two experiments attempted to directly assess the impact of self-other perspective on success and failure attributions for a variety of achievement-related situations. (Author/RK)

Two studies are reported which utilize a variety of achievement situations. 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. (Author/RK)

Proposed a conceptual distinction between two types of experienced power and examined its relevance to participation in power-relaxed activities. After two college football games, spectators chose an image-of-power position after a hometeam defeat, and an actual-power position after a hometeam victory. Experiences of vicarious success or failure…

This research was undertaken to determine the factor structure of the 26-item revised versions of the Mehrabian (1968) Female and Male scales, a self-report instrument designed to measure achievement motivation. (Author/RK)

This paper specifically examines the role of causal schemata in determining achievement-related causal judgments. (Author)

Among the reasons for the present investigation were the attempt to determine the relationship among the different measures of each personality characteristic which has been hypothesized as important and to determine the relationships among the different personality characteristics. (Author/RK)

Experiments investigate hypothesis that vulnerable self-esteem internals and externals react more defensively to negative intellectual and personality feedback than congruent internals and externals. Suggested that consistently internal view of causation may increase stress in evaluative situations. Discusses implications for understanding…

Two experiments demonstrated interactive effects between locus of control and expectancy confirmation-disconfirmation in determining attribution of failure. (Editor)

The author attempts to determine whether or not dispositional variables involving feelings and attitudes concerning others are related to altruistic behavior and, if so, to examine their relationship to positive and negative affective arousal. (Author/RK)

Studied the effect of a laboratory-induced stress (failure feedback) on persons with differing levels of life stress. Proposed that differing levels of previous life stress cause people to make varying judgments about the degree of threat in a short-term stressful situation. (Author)

Causal attributions of a person actually experiencing a success or failure (the actor) and someone who read about the situation (the observer) were compared. Results supported Jones and Nisbett (1971). (Editor)
