Abstract
The factor structure of attributional style, as assessed by the Extended At tributional Style Questionnaire, was examined among 518 undergraduates, and cross-validated on a separate sample of 275 undergraduates. Results provid ed clear support for the presumed attributional dimensions of Internality, Stability, and Globality as cohesive, discriminable, and replicable factors , although Internality displayed somewhat low reliability.
