The two dimensions of stability and internality, identified by Weiner et al. (1971) as underlying attributions for achievement, can be related to the consensus and consistency dimensions of Kelley's (1967) Anova cube model of attribution. In this study it was predicted that consistency information would be used to assess stability; whereas consensus information would be used to assess internality in making causal attributions in achievement settings. It was found that high consistency increased attributions to stable factors while low consistency increased unstable attributions. In addition, high consensus increased attributions to external factors, while low consensus increased internal attributions.
