Abstract

The factor structure of the Questionnaire of Attributional styles of the area of academic achievement in Mexican university students is analyzed. The sample consisted of 1469 participants, all of them students of the degree of Physical Education and Human Motricity offered at the Autonomous University of Chihuahua in Mexico, with a mean age of 20.67 years. Through confirmatory factor analysis a four-factor structure was obtained. The structure of the four factors (attribution to luck, attribution to effort, attribution to skill and attribution to teacher) showed adequate indicators of adjustment of reliability and validity. In addition, factor analysis conducted with subsamples indicated the presence of strong evidence of factor structure stability.
