A2 Attribution
A2 AQA attribution theory
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Attributions | the perceived reasons for the success or failure of an event or pattern of behaviour |
| Attribution theory | this theory suggests that the perceived reasons given by a performer or coach after an event to explain the outcome can affect future levels of motivation |
| Learned Helplessness | feelings experienced by an individual when he or she believes that failure is inevitable because of negative past experiences. Can be specific and global |
| Self-serving bias | correct use of attributions protects self esteem success to internal – stable factors success to internal – unstable factors failure to internal – unstable factors failure to external – stable factors failure to external – unstable factors |
| Attribution retraining | the process by which a performer is taught to attribute failure to changeable, unstable factors rather than internal, stable factors, i.e. lack of ability – changing the reasons given for failure |
| Locus causality | the cause of the final outcome is pinpointed as being due to internal (ability and effort)or external (Task difficluty & Luck)factors, i.e. those within or beyond the performer’s control |
| Locus of control | identifies attributing factors based on the level of control the performer is able to exert on the final outcome |
| Stability dimensions | identifies attributing factors which may have influenced the final result, and which may or may not change in nature over a short period of time. (Stable- ability and task difficulty- unstable effort and luck) |
