|a Attributions are defined as reasons, explanations, or causes for an event. According to Weiner’s (1985) attribution theory, an individual will explore the reason for an event outcome. Attribution theory has provided information on how attributions can impact motivation and subsequent behavior. Recently some of the foundational work of attribution theory has been challenged, and changes were suggested. Coffee & Rees (2008) developed a survey (CSGU) that examined how an individual’s rate their performance regarding on controllability, stability, globality, and universality. The purpose of the current study was to examine student-athletes perceived success and to provide additional information on the CSGU scale. Student-athletes were asked to rate their perceived success over the course of their competitive career on a seven-point Likert-scale, identify the single most important reason for their performance, and rate each of the dimensions as they relate to that reason. It was hypothesized that a perceived successful performance will be explained with controllable, stable, global, and personal reasons. Post-hoc analysis examined differences between gender, Division I and II schools, athletes participating in team and individual sports, and eligibility in sports. The dependent variable was success. The independent variables were controllability, stability, globality, and universality. A multiple regression analysis concluded that the hypothesis was not supported. One of the possible explanations might have been a difference between the current study and past studies in that participants had to rate their perceived success for events over the course of many years, instead of one single event. Though, the hypothesis was not supported many new questions for further research developed. |
