Attributions for Success or Failure in Sport Performance
Performance, expectations and emotions are ultimately influenced by people, situations and time. Within sport psychology, experiences of practitioners are probably no match to attributions to strategy or lack of effort. People explanations regarding their performances, the cause behind their performances and the impact of these causes on future performance, expectations and emotions are the issues for sport psychology. For sport achievement, a greater influence might be exerted on subsequent attributions and effort related to sport may be more quantifiable and salient. In intellectual tasks, it was perceived that the ability attributions for failure were precluded by the motivational bias, however in sport tasks, the motivational bias will be reduced in attributions for failure. In compare to intellectual tasks, the perception of effort levels must be more quantitative in sport tasks. In sport settings, the relationship between task difficulty and the outcome might be mediated by the effort information suggested by the significant effort obtained on task difficulty by outcome interaction. Effective management of oneself and the environment is the latent goal of the individual in attainment of knowledge as the attributor is a seeker after knowledge besides an attributor. For future actions, a guide or a prescription can be suggested by the possible effective management after the causes or a cause has been assigned. To reinstate the prior causal network there is likely to be an attempt if success was the prior outcome. However, to produce a more positive and different effect, there is likely to be an attempt to alter the causes of the prior event or outcome was undesired, like, economic decline, political loss, social rejection or exam failure.
