An attributional theory of achievement motivation and emotion
Abstract
In this chapter a theory of motivation and emotion developed from an attributional perspective is presented. Before undertaking this central task, it might be beneficial to review the progression of the book. In Chapter 1 it was suggested that causal attributions have been prevalent throughout history and in disparate cultures. Studies reviewed in Chapter 2 revealed a large number of causal ascriptions within motivational domains, and different ascriptions in disparate domains. Yet some attributions, particularly ability and effort in the achievement area, dominate causal thinking. To compare and contrast causes such as ability and effort, their common denominators or shared properties were identified. Three causal dimensions, examined in Chapter 3, are locus, stability, and controllability, with intentionality and globality as other possible causal properties. As documented in Chapter 4, the perceived stability of a cause influences the subjective probability of success following a previous success or failure; causes perceived as enduring increase the certainty that the prior outcome will be repeated in the future. And all the causal dimensions, as well as the outcome of an activity and specific causes, influence the emotions experienced after attainment or nonattainment of a goal. The affects linked to causal dimensions include pride (with locus), hopelessness and resignation (with stability), and anger, gratitude, guilt, pity, and shame (with controllability).

“Thus, following outcome appraisal, learners attribute their success or failure based on three dimensions: locus of causality (internal vs. external), stability (stable vs. unstable), and controllability (controllable vs. uncontrollable), which are associated with a specific emotion (Weiner, 1985).”
In the citing paper
“Self-esteem (pride) is linked with an internal locus of causality, such as ability, which is stable but uncontrollable.”
In the citing paper
“Outcome appraisal is characterized by a sequence of linking the perceived success or failure with a positive or negative emotion.”
In the citing paper
“Both self-esteem and guilt are intrinsically directed emotions, which may affect learners' motivation through causal attribution and activate adaptive behaviors (Weiner, 1985) for regulation of attention.”
In the citing paper
“Among the implicit strategies, outcome appraisal (Weiner, 1985) is the major implicit activity in this genre.”
In the citing paper
“Guilt is derived from a controllable cause, such as efforts, which are directed inward but are unstable.”
In the citing paper
“Causal attribution, which follows the outcome appraisal, may have implication for university students' regulation of their attention.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
