Autonomy and Motivation: A Literature Review 

Attribution Theory
"There is substantial evidence from cognitive motivational studies that learning success and enhanced motivation is conditional on learners taking responsibility for their own learning, being able to control their own learning and perceiving that their learning successes or failures are to be attributed to their own efforts and strategies rather than to factors outside their control. Each of these conditions is a characteristics of learner autonomy as it is described in applied linguistics." (p. 174)
