Attribution principle was applied to understand educational success and failure. Inquiries that directed the research were: what are the influencing factors that dominate in students’ academic success? Is there any change if dispositional attribution and grades, factored as standards of academic achievement are measured? Do the measured attribution have any effect when forecasting students’ grades?
