Abstract

Introduction: The attribution process is one of the most fundamental psychological phenomena that produce negative thoughts and emotions in situations of Academic Failure, whereby may exhibit maladaptive academic behaviors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Attributional Retraining intervention (AR) on students who are on probation. Method In an additive pilot project, 110 students on probation at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Tehran in the first semester of the 1397-98 academic year were called to study. After preliminary screening based on last Term Probation and low score on Perry's Perceived Academic Control Scale (2001), 30 participants were assigned to 3 groups including 2 attributional training groups (ABCDE AR and ABCDE + video AR) and a waiting list control group Two experimental groups participated in 9 sessions of AR intervention (each sessions120 minutes) for five weeks. The ABCDE group received AR intervention including group discussion and writing tasks and the second experimental group received AR intervention including watching 3 video-taped, group discussion and writing tasks. Participants completed the perceived control scale, life satisfaction scale (Cantril, 1965) and positive and negative affect scales (Mroczek and Kolarz, 1998) before and after the intervention and two months later. Student’, s previous semester grade point average and current semester grade point average obtained from the office of educational services. Results: The results of mixed analysis of variance showed that the Attributional Retraining intervention for probationary students led to a significant increase in the sense of control, improved academic performance and improved their mental well-being compared to the control group. Also, adding the film to the induction of Attributional Retraining had some positive consequences,However, it did not reach the level of statistical significance. Discussion and conclusion: Correcting incompatible causal attributes seems to increase the sense of control and strategic effort of the failed individuals, and this in turn leads to positive academic outcomes.
