Abstract/Summary
Perfectionism and Causal Attribution have been reported to be factors that affect a student's performance in school. The dimensions of perfectionism and the dimensions of causal attribution specifically locus of causality have been related to Self-Regulation by other researchers but haven't been studied as predictors that may trigger Self-Regulation. With the use of multiple regression and correlation as methods of analysis, the researchers studied how perfectionism and causal attribution predict Self-Regulation. The scales used for Self-Regulation, Perfectionism and causal attribution, are Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire, Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, and Causal Dimension Scale, respectively.
Through Multiple Regression, high values on the following are associated with greater Self-Regulation: Task Value and Personal Standards t(194)= 3.95, p < .00 Results Lower Level Strategies, and Personal Standards and Organization [t(194)=3.34, p < 00 t(194) = 4.77, p < .00, respectively.] HIgher level Strategies and Personal Standards and Organization [t(194) = 2.01, p < .00 t(194) = 5.55, p < .00, respectively].
The following however are not significant predictors of Self-Regulation: Locus of Control, Parental Criticism, Parental Expectation, and Concern over Mistakes, and Doubts about Actions.
