Psychometric properties of the Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire

Psychol Rep. 2003 Oct;93(2):481-5. doi: 10.2466/pr0.2003.93.2.481.

Abstract

The structure of the Children's Attributional Style Questionnaire was examined for 359 children in Grades 5 and 6. Unsatisfactory internal consistency reliabilities ranged from .19 to .41 for the subscales and .54 for the overall measure. In addition, scree plots of the individual subscales resulted in a range of 2 to 4 factors per subscale and hence lacked evidence of unidimensionality.
