讲座主要内容：

Studies on learning from failure focus primarily on failures identified by the focal individuals themselves, paying less attention to failures identified by other sources (i.e., a machine or peers). Drawing on attribution theory, we investigate this question using data collected from an online programming contest community, where we can trace individuals’ code failures that were identified by a machine or by peers. We find that whereas individuals learn from failures that are identified by a machine or by higher-status peers, they learn less (and in most cases not at all) from failures identified by lower-status peers. Apart from these main findings, we also conduct additional analyses to investigate whether individuals learn more from failures identified by machines or by peers in general, and also how learning from failures compares to learning from successes. Taken together, we expand experiential learning theories by considering individuals’ failures that are identified by sources other than the focal individuals themselves and by incorporating status theory.
