Abstract
In this study, LD adolescents were taught to set realistic goals, to expend effort to achieve the goals, and to accept responsibility for achieving or failing to achieve their goals. The intervention produced a significant increase in the number of students exhibiting realistic goal setting strategies. During training, LD students produced a significantly greater number of effort attributions than ability, task difficulty, or luck attributions. The treatment group also increased internal attributions.
