Children who develop a mastery orientation attribute their successes to their own hard work (internal and controllable factors) and their failures to factors that they can either control or change. They focus on learning goals. Children who develop a helpless orientation attribute their failures to their own lack of ability and attribute successes to external and uncontrollable factors such as luck. They focus on performance goals.
