Abstract

16 male and 16 female subjects made causal attributions for four types of responses ostensibly made by other people—positive and negative manifest and positive and negative subjective. Females more often than males attributed subjective responses to the external stimulus, and they more often than males attributed manifest responses to the external circumstances. Some implications of these results for understanding sex differences in attributions for performance in achievement-related situations are discussed.
