Sažetak
This research presents both the application of the Weiner’s model of attribution and an attempt to verify the assumption dealing with the impact of sex variable and the motivation for achievement with the preferences to the causal attribution of achievements. In this research we used the scale for attributing the reasons of success and failure, while the motivation for achievement was being analysed through the questionnaire for measuring the general achievement motivation (MOP). One hundred and seventy three students were questioned and the results were processed and interpreted. The results showed that the sex has only a partial impact on attributing achievements; female students ascribed it to being active and motivated, while male students do not have expressed attribution preferences for success. When it comes to attributing failure, female students attribute it to the lack of skill. The sole expression of motivation for achievements has no significant impact on attributing school achievements. However, interactive effect of success and motivation is significant: highly motivated successful students ascribe their success to their own activities and skills far more than low motivated successful students. Low motivated unsuccessful students attribute their failure to the lack of activity. These results are very important in planning the strategies of work with unsuccessful and low motivated students.
