The first group, "Olympians", represents highly able adults who have participated in international Olympics in mathematics. The second group, "Prefinalists", consists of secondary school students, who have taken part in national competitions in mathematics. The third group, "Polytechnics", consists of adolescent students in Polytechnic institute with mathematics as their field of specialization. The student version of the instrument included 18 items measuring four factors of ability and effort attributions (Weiner, 1974). The parent version included 39 items measuring five factors of parental influence (Campbell, 1996). The research questions were as follows: (1) Do the self-attributions of the thr...

The most gifted group (N=77) represents highly able adults who have participated in international Olympics in mathematics. The second group consists of students from a polytechnic institute (N=74) who study mathematics as part of their studies. The third group, future Olympians, is represented by secondary school students (N=52) who have taken part in national competitions in mathematics. All the participants completed self-confidence attitude attribute scales (SaaS) questionnaire. The SaaS instrument used a five-point Likert scale, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The instrument included eighteen items measuring the students' ability and effort attributions, based on attribution theory, on four dimensions: (1) "Success due to Ability", (2) "Failure due to a lack of Ability", (3) "Success due to Effo...
