Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children who are high in academic self-esteem and motivation are more likely to credit their successes to their own ability, which is a mastery-oriented attribution. This is because they view their success as a result of their own efforts and skills rather than external factors such as luck or effort. A is incorrect because a realistically oriented attribution would mean that children are acknowledging both their abilities and limitations, rather than simply attributing their success to luck. C and D are incorrect because external factors such as effort or luck are not indicative of high academic self-esteem and motivation; these attributions are generally associated with lower levels of motivation and self-esteem.
