Abstract	This study examined the relationships among student academic performance and child's and parents' attributional styles. One hundred seventy-nine students (87 boys and 92 girls) who were enrolled in primary public schools in New South Wales, Australia, and their parents volunteered to participate in the study. Only English-speaking, two-parent families were included. Participants completed age-appropriate attributional style questionnaires. Academic performance was obtained from student records of course grades. The results indicated that both mothers' and fathers' attributions for their own positive and negative life events were related to their children's attributions for their academic performance. We present implications of these results for research on attributions and academic performance. (As Provided).
