Self-appraisal and attributions: A test of a model
研究通过路径分析模型检验了自尊、控制点、自我评价与归因之间的关系，发现模型得到有力支持，各假设路径均显著，为未来研究提供了框架。
A path-analytic model was employed to examine the predicted relationships among self-esteem, locus of control, self-appraisal, and attributions. Participants completed two individual difference measures (self-esteem and locus of control) and then worked on a test that they believed was a managerial selection instrument. They then rated their own performance on the instrument and made attributions for their performance. The model received strong support and each hypothesized path was statistically significant. The results are discussed with respect to recent work by Levy and Foti (1989, 1990) and Farh and Dobbins (1989b) and a general framework is suggested for future research.
