The aim of present study is no investigate the relations between causal attributions to affective reactions focused on the views and research findings of Weiner and find the implications for teacher behavior.
The present study is organized in the followings manner:
First, attribution theory is briefly introduced, with special attention given to causal dimensions, or the underlying properties of causal inference.
Then, relations between causal ascriptions and emotions are examined. Of particular interest an attributional perspective are the emotions of pity, anger, and guilt. These emotions are of great importance in the classroom.
Finally, some of the implications of attributional research for teacher behavior are considered.
The present study suggested the practical implications and potential applications of the relations between attributions and emotions in the following areas:
1)Affects as cues guiding self-perception
2)Self-concept and teacher behavior
3)Social cognition in the classroom
