A large body of research has documented Weiner's theory as it applies to achievement contexts, highlighting the role of the causal dimensions (locus of causality, stability, and controllability) as antecedents of specific emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions. The aim of this article is to address important, and as yet unanswered questions, by focusing on the relationship between these causal dimensions and their cognitive and behavioral consequences, and by meta-analyzing research using the direct-rating method to measure the causal dimensions identified by Weiner (1985, 2005). 43 studies using direct-rating measures of causal dimensions, reporting 57 correlation matrices involving 15,213 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Using meta-analytic structural equation modeling, the fit of the cognition-expectancy-action sequence of Weiner's model, its structural parameters and between-sample variations were examined. Our model fitted the data well, and the structural parameters showed that the causal dimensions influenced behavioral adjustment and performance through psychological consequences. The results also revealed large effect size heterogeneity across studies, explained by several moderators such as event valence. To conclude, the results support the cognition-expectancy- action sequence proposed by Weiner's attributional theory. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

因果归因在确定行为后果中的作用：从成就背景下的个人归因视角进行的荟萃分析。

大量研究记录了韦纳的理论，因为它适用于成就背景，强调了因果维度（因果关系、稳定性和可控性的轨迹）作为特定情绪、认知和行为反应的前因的作用。本文的目的是通过关注这些因果维度与其认知和行为后果之间的关系，并通过使用直接评级方法测量已确定的因果维度的元分析研究来解决重要且尚未回答的问题韦纳 (1985, 2005)。这项荟萃分析纳入了 43 项使用因果维度直接评分测量的研究，报告了 57 个相关矩阵，涉及 15,213 名参与者。使用元分析结构方程建模，对 Weiner 模型的认知-期望-动作序列的拟合、其结构参数和样本间变化进行了检查。我们的模型很好地拟合了数据，结构参数表明，因果维度通过心理后果影响行为调整和表现。结果还揭示了跨研究的大效应量异质性，由事件效价等几个调节因素解释。总而言之，结果支持了韦纳归因理论提出的认知-期望-行动序列。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。结构参数表明，因果维度通过心理后果影响行为调整和表现。结果还揭示了跨研究的大效应量异质性，由事件效价等几个调节因素解释。总而言之，结果支持了韦纳归因理论提出的认知-期望-行动序列。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。结构参数表明，因果维度通过心理后果影响行为调整和表现。结果还揭示了跨研究的大效应量异质性，由事件效价等几个调节因素解释。总而言之，结果支持了韦纳归因理论提出的认知-期望-行动序列。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
