Assessing Self-Regulation as a Cyclical, Context-Specific Phenomenon: Overview and Analysis of SRL Microanalytic Protocols

Table 6

Examples of attribution microanalytic questions, administration sequence, and coding scheme.

Study	Questions	Timing of administration	Coding Scheme
[36]^a	“Why do you think you missed the bull’s eye on the last trial?	After missing the bulls eye during practice session	Strategy
			Effort
			Ability
			Practice
			Do not know/Other
[57]	Students were asked why thought they did not do better rewriting their last sentence	Immediately after the writing practice period	Identical to [36]
[59]	“Why do you think you missed the bull’s eye on the last attempt?”	Following a missed bulls eye during post-test	Identical to [36]
[50]^b	“Why do you think you missed those last two shots?”Why do you think you made those last two shots?”	Following two missed shots in a row during the practice session (at least 10 shots taken) Following two made shots in a row during the practice session (at least 10 shots taken)	Technique specific/general
			Focus specific/general
			Distractions
			Rhythm
			Confidence
			Effort
			Practice
			Do not know/Other
[34]	“Why do you think you missed the highest designated target area with your serve?”	Following two consecutive missed serves of a specified target area (posttest)	Form/technique
			Ability
			Power
			Practice
			Concentration
			Do not know
[35]	“Why do you think you missed those last two shots?”	Following two missed shots in a row during the posttest phase	Identical to [50]
[33]	“Why do you think you did not do better on this particular test question on tornado development?”	After getting test grade back from the experimenter	Ability
			Do not know
	or		Effort; Strategy
	“Why do you think you did so well on this particular test question on tornado development?”^c

^a The authors collapsed responses to attribution and adaptive inference questions into a single category.
^bThe two attribution questions were administered and coded separately. ^cThis question was asked only if students received a 100% on the tornado test.
