In both studies, students were found to consistently and overwhelmingly prefer effort attributions over ability, task, and luck attributions, for both success and failure outcomes. The students revealed a distinct self-critical attributional pattern. The causes and mental health implications of this prefence are discussed.}, pages = {13--26}, title = {Self-Attributions for Achievement Outcomes among First Year Japanese College Students}, volume = {31}, year = {} }
