Abstract
The effect of outcome and type of attribution on self-efficacy was investigated in an experiment involving a simple associative task. The subjects (N=40) were put to pre-test (before performance feedback and attribution) and post-test (after receiving performance feedback and attribution). The study involved a 2X2 factorial design with two types of outcomes (Success /Failure) and two types of attribution (Ability/Effort) with 10 subject (5 males and 5 females) in each cell. The result revealed a considerable difference on self-efficacy judgement. Ability and effort attributions for successful performance led to enhancement in self-efficacy judgement while failure feedback led to significant decrement in these judgements.
