Abstract

The aims of this study is to examine the construct validity of the success / failure attribution scale by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, to assess the internal reliability of the scales and  to determine the sub-dimensions of the scales by performing structural equation modeling. In the study, success and failure attributions scale are discussed as two separate scales and analyzed separately. Findings from the exploratory factor analysis has revealed three-factor structure for both failure and success attributions. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided evidence for the three-factor structure of both scales. Finally, It was found that university students tend to attribute their success or failure generally to factors within themselves    Key words: Success attributions, failure attributions, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis.
