This paper focuses on the topic of academic shame and points out its importance in academic culture and its influence on doctoral candidates. Through literature review, the definition of academic shame and related theories of attribution are sorted out. Taking humanities and social science doctoral students in science and technology universities as the research object, the interview data were analyzed by using the method of grounded theory through the steps of open, axial and selective coding. It is found that the results of academic shame attribution are consistent with Weiner's attribution theory, and the influencing factors include internal-instability, internal-stability, external-instability and external-stability factors. It also constructs a model of academic shame attribution, which has been tested to have theoretical saturation. Finally, the model is explained from the aspects of research self-efficacy, personal characteristics, guiding relationships and environmental constraints.
