| Description | Our project is part of ELSPAC (European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood) branch Brno, Czech Republic. The research is based on recent theories of achievement motivation; by means of causal analysis, they interrelate activities evaluated in terms of success and failure. The study was conducted on a sample of 13-year-old pupils of basic schools. The aim of the study was to explore how the situational/dispositional attribution of school achievement/failure differs from the attribution in non-academic achievement situation. Bipolar scales for four causal factors were used (skills, effort, task difficulty, luck); the data was analyzed separately (a) for pupils with good school results and for pupils with poor school results; and separately (b) for pupils successful and unsuccessful in the achievement situation. |
