“…One dimension emphasued by several investigaton to be of central importance is attributional globality-the extent to which the cause of a failure is attributed to global factors (e.g., "1 la& the intelligence to do well at most thingstt) or more specific factors (e.g., "Rote memorization is not my cup of tea") (e.g., Abramson, Seligman, & Teasdale, 1978;Weiner, 1985). HSE and LSE individuals differ in their attributional tendencies along the globality dimension, with LSE individuals tending to attribute failure to more global factors (Campbell, Chew, & Scratchley, 1991;Cohen, van den Bout, van Vliet, & Kramer, 1989;Peterson, Schwartz, & Seligman, 1981).…”
