The current study aimed to identify the level of information acquisition and causal attribution among secondary school students, and it also aimed to reveal the predictive ability of information acquisition in causal attribution among secondary school students, and to identify the difference in information acquisition and causal attribution according to the grade variable, and to achieve the objectives of the study, two attribution scales were developed. Causal and information acquisition, and their psychometric properties were verified for validity and reliability. A sample of secondary school students in the city of Tabuk was selected through the available sample, which numbered (293), and the results of the study indicated that the level of information acquisition came in the total degree and the three dimensions with a degree of High, as the dimension of unstable internal attribution for secondary school students came to a high degree, while the rest of the dimensions of attribution came to a medium degree, and the results indicated that information acquisition explains the attribution and came in order: unstable internal attribution, then stable internal attribution, then stable external attribution Finally, the unstable external attribution came, as the results indicated that the acquisition of information and the three dimensions do not differ according to the grade, but according to the attribution. The unstable external evidence indicates that female students of the second grade of secondary school enjoy it higher than the female students of the first grade of secondary school, and based on the results of the study, a number of recommendations were made, including: The need to take advantage of the predictive ability to acquire information in the development of internal causal attribution among students.
