A critical appraisal of the existing motivational versus cognitive controversies in the area of attributional research led to the formulation of a model which contains the dimension of Evaluation conceptualized independently from Locus of causality. The model was tested, with Nigerian undergraduate students serving as subjects, in an experiment on self versus other attributions for success and failure outcomes. The data revealed two major findings: (1) Positive evaluation, and not attributional asymmetry, is the pattern of self‐perception in the achievement‐related contexts; (2) The pattern of positive evaluation in other‐perception is self‐outcome mediated, it shows a high level of generalization in the co‐shared experience and an egotistic reversal if opposite outcomes occur
