چکیده
Two studies that examine distinct affect-attribution linkages in the context of an actual examination are reported. The results provide partial support for Weiner’s model but also suggest that attributions are related to positive affect when the attributions are associated with the potential of satisfactory performance. That is, attributions generate positive affect to the extent that such attributions help ensure good performance.

In general, low and high scoring students clustered in different cells of the cube, with high scoring students claiming their scores were nondistinctive, but low scorers emphasizing (a) distinctiveness, (b) hi...

The results supported Kelley’s attributional model, for cheaters tended to note the high distinctiveness, high consensus, and low consistency of their actions, while noncheaters noted the low distinctiveness, low consen...
