Abstract

This study investigated the causal attributions of success among Chicano graduates and of failure among Chicano nongraduates from a major public university. An open- and closed-ended questionnaire was administered to 39 graduates and 36 non graduates concerning the effects of their college experience, factors contributing to graduating or dropping out of college, and their,present employment and income conditions.

RESULTS sug gest that students who graduate attribute their success to internal factors while students who do not graduate attribute their failure to external factors.
