Abstract
application/pdf
This study was conducted to investigate the relation between perceived attainment and causal attributions for success and failure in eight school subjects. Subjects were 321 fifth-grade students. Main findings were that (a) attainment in eight school subjects was perceived by students in three clusters: Japanese, arithmetic social studies, science, and art; music and homemaking; athletics, (b) students with high perceived attainment attributed success to ability and those with low perceived attainment attributed failure to lack of ability, whereas effort attributions were not associated with perceived attainment in success nor in failure, (c) causal attributions were not explained in terms of the bipolar dimensions (e.g., the internal-external, stable-unstable dimensions). The importance of classroom-based research in the study of academic achievement as well as the peculiarity in effort concept in Japanese culture were disscussed.
