Abstract
Low-achieving Anglo, Black, Hispanic, and Native American community college students (N = 399) were administered the Multidimensional-Multiattributional Causality Scale in order to examine attributions of academic success and failure to ability, effort, context, and luck. The four ethnic groups were similar in their attributions of success to external causes (Factor I), and of success to internal causes (Factor II). On Factor III Blacks and Native Americans were similar, as were Anglos and Hispanics.Keywords
