Bernard Weiner

Bernard Weiner is a psychologist known for his work on motivation and attribution theory. He studied how people interpret successes and failures, and how these interpretations affect their future behavior and emotions. For example, if someone attributes a failure to a lack of effort, they might be motivated to try harder. Conversely, blaming external factors might affect motivation differently. Weiner’s research helps us understand how perceptions of cause and responsibility influence learning, performance, and emotional responses, providing valuable insights into individual motivation and behavior in various settings such as education and workplace environments.
