Histograms of attribution to ability.
n = 120. By condition: n = 31, n = 31, n = 26 (Difficult-English), and n = 32 (Difficult-Dutch).
Table 1.
Mean and standard deviation of ability attributions by difficulty and language.
Fig 2.
Histograms of attribution to ability minus total other.
Table 2.
Mean and standard deviation of attribution to ability minus the average of the luck, task difficulty, and effort attributions, by difficulty and language.
Table 3.
Mean and standard deviation of attribution to ability minus total luck, task difficulty, and effort attributions, by difficulty and language.
Fig 3.
OLS analysis on attribution to ability minus total other attributions.
Fig 3 is based on a model regressing attribution to ability on score achieved, language condition, the interaction between them, and a continuous measure of FLA and its interaction with score and language condition separately and combined, and control variables for gender, current average English grade, and whether the participant was in the 2nd or 3rd year.
Fig 4.
The interaction term captures the positive covariation, such that the main effects capture only negative covariation.
Fig 5.
The interaction term is counteracted, such that the language main effect captures both positive and negative covariation, and that negative covariation is weaker.
