Abstract | Perceived control (PC) and boredom are academic risk factors that undermine motivation and performance in competitive achievement settings (Pekrun, Goetz, Daniels, Stupnisky, & Perry, 2010; Perry, Hladkyj, Pekrun, & Pelletier, 2001). Attribution-based motivation treatments (attributional retraining: AR) can assist students who exhibit single-risk factors, but AR efficacy remains unexamined for students with multiple-occurring risk factors in online learning environments. In a prepost randomized treatment study, AR was administered to students who differed in PC (low, high) and boredom (low, high) in an online, 2-semester course. For students with co-occurring risk factors (low PC–high boredom), AR (vs. no-AR) recipients performed better on a posttreatment course test, had higher control-related beliefs, and were twice as likely to remain in the course. AR (vs. no-AR) treatment effects were absent for students not having co-occurring risk factors. These results advance research on attribution-based motivation treatments for students who exhibit co-occurring academic risk factors in online learning environments.
