Book excerpt: With Special Contributions from Bernard Weiner Ph.D. (UCLA) and Robert Lord Ph.D. (Univ. of Akron) Attribution theory is concerned with peoples causal explanation for outcomes: successes and failures. The basic premise is that beliefs about outcomes are a primary determinant of expectations and, consequently, future behavior. Attribution theory articulates how this process occurs and provides a basis for understanding that translates into practical action. Attribution Theory: An Organizational Perspective serves as a primary sourcebook of attribution theory as it relates to management and organizational behavior. The text provides an integrated explanation of the role and function of attribution theory in the organization. This important new book contains original empirical research relating attributions to leader evaluations, reactions to information technologies, management of diverse work groups, achievement, and executive succession and power. The contributors are from a variety of disciplines including management, psychology, education, educational psychology, and sociology.

This book was released on 2022-08-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION Globally, there has been an increasing concern in the education sector on how to make sure that students learn optimally at school and achieve excellence in their academic settings. It has been observed that some students in the classroom do not pay attention to what the teacher is doing as they are easily caught engaged in other activities and to see students slouched in their chairs and not listening to the teacher or participating in the classroom discussion which illustrates lack of engagement (Jones, 2008). Thus, motivating students and engaging them in learning at school is a matter of great concern for educationist today and achieving success is one of the greatest challenges of this century (Awan, Noureen and Nas, 2011). Hence, motivation and engagement have been taken as an important components for enhanced learning outcomes of students. Empirically, researches (Eccles & Wigfield, 2002; Ryan, & Deci, 1991; Berndt & Keefe, 1995; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Dweck and Leggett, 1988) point towards gender, parents, peers, teachers, personality, as being significant determinants of motivation and engagement. Despite strong theoretical associations of attributional style and self-regulated learning strategies with various academic outcomes, little research has been conducted on exploring linkages between these two variables with motivation and engagement. Attribution is a significant component of academic success. Prior researches (Hall, 2007; Perry, 1993; Perry, 1989) have shown that by altering dysfunctional attributional style, students' academic performance, motivation and success can be enhanced. In the light of these researches, it can be stated that functional attributional style has a prominent role to play in motivation and engagement. Similarly, self-regulated learning strategies have been proved (Pintrich and Garcia,1991; Zimmerman, 2002) to be significantly correlated with academic outcomes. Keeping in mind, the significance of attributional style and self-regulated learning strategies in the domain of academics, it becomes essential to explore as to how do these two factors are related to and contribute in motivation and engagement. Motivation and engagement play an essential role in students' interest in and enjoyment of school and study. These can also underpin students' achievement (Liem & Martin, 2012; Martin, 2007, 2009; Martin, Marsh, & Debus, 2001a, 2001b; 2003; Pintrich, 2003; Schunk, 1990). Thus, motivation and engagement have been found to be crucial factors in academic success and achievement because the student may,
Download or read book The Relationship Between Attributional Style Self concept and Class Placement in Students with and Without Learning Disabilities written by Lynette Ship and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: "The current investigation was conducted to examine the relationship between attributional style, self-concept, and class placement in students with and without learning disabilities. Subjects included both students with and without learning disabilities from third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms. The students who participated in the study were involved in either the general or full inclusion programs. Students classified with learning disabilities in the general education program were pulled out for resource room services, while those in the full inclusive programs did not receive pull out services. All students were given the Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire and the Piers-Harris Children's Self-concept Scale. Three hypotheses were tested. Based on past research it was proposed that students classified with learning disabilities would possess a more negative attributional style in addition to a lower self concept in the area of academic achievement compared to their general education peers. Finally, it was predicted that attributional style, and not class placement, would be a stronger predictor of academic self-concept. Results show strong support for all three hypotheses. Results are discussed in terms of implications for interventions as well as directions for further research."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first work to condense the large literature on explanatory style -- one's tendency to offer similar sorts of explanations for different events. This cognitive variable has been related to psychopathology, physical health, achievement and success. Compiled by experts in the fields of depression, anxiety, psychoneuroimmunology and motivation, this volume details our current level of understanding, outlines gaps in our knowledge, and discusses the future directions of the field. Data from a vast number of studies are presented, including results from studies not previously reported. Coverage includes sections on cross-cultural comparisons, life-span and development issues, and gender differences; and an extensive description of the measurement of explanatory style offering questionnaire and content-analysis methods for children, college populations and adults. This work is thus a valuable tool for anyone involved in research on the etiology and treatment of depression, cognitive therapy, motivation and emotion, and the link between physical and psychological well-being.

Covering methodological, theoretical, and empirical issues, the authors review cognitive theories of depression; explicate and assess the vulnerability approach to psychopathology; and formulate an integrative view of the key proximal and distal antecedents of depression in adults.
