Abstract
A study was conducted to determine the relationship between attributions of causality for success and failure and behavioral prescriptions for improvement of a learner. Data showed no systematic relationship between attributions and behavioral prescriptions, contrary to currently popular attribution theories. Results also indicated the need to control for the order of attribution and behavior assessment. Implications for attribution theory and research are discussed.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
