✦ Synopsis

for failure experiences. The children who respond that they accept responsibility for negative events also tend to report experiencing more anxiety about their reading. On the basis of previous research (Lefcourt, 1976; Phares, 1976), negative correlations between internality scales and measures of anxiety are expected. This discrepancy suggests the need for research on the relationship between reading anxiety and general anxiety, as well as the relationship between these variables and internality minus.

Examination of Table 1 shows that the internality minus (I-) from the IAR failed to show a significant relationship with any of the other dimensions of reading attitude measured by the Survey. Similarly, the internality plus (I+) score from the IAR failed to show a significant relationship with any of the eight dimensions of reading attitude in the Survey.
