This study investigated the failure beliefs among Japanese junior high school students using the failure belief scale developed by Nishimura et al. Cluster analysis was performed by categorizing 280 students into four distinctive clusters: “high fearfulness group” with high fearfulness toward failure, “failure amicable group” with low fearfulness towards failure and high utilization-possibility of failure, “average group” that showed consistently average scores over the two subscales, and “failure indifferent group” with low scores over the subscales. One-way ANOVA revealed that the first two groups are different not in the academic outcomes but in the social outcomes. The results suggested that teachers should focus on social aspects as well as cognitive aspects in promoting the qualitative development of students’ failure belief groups.
