Abstract

About causal attribution theories, Fritz Heider developed a model which explains success and failure from the factors of `ability', `effort', `luck' and `task difficulty'.Weiner's model, which based on the foundations established by Fritz Heider, deals with the explanations we arrive at for success and failure of people on particular tasks. He assumes two dimensions; one is internal/external dimension, the other is temporary/ stable dimension. The temporary/stable dimension is assumed to be most important to us in forming expectancies, or prediction of how someone will do in the future. The second dimension of causal attribution is believed to relate primarily to the rewards or punishments that follow a performance.This study examines relations between the I•P&C scale which measures attribution tendencies (internal, powerful other's and chance control), the length of examination time and the examination scores of university students.Results suggests that attributional directions contrary to luck, chance, opportunity enhance learning performance, and attributions to luck et al. reduce learning performance.
