Attributional Modesty in Women.
Berg, John H.; And Others
Psychology of Women Quarterly, v5 n5 p711-27 1981
Studied the determinants of attributional modesty in women. Women tend to make modest attributions for success when concerned about how others would evaluate them and when concerned about their self-image. Self-derogatory attributions for failure occur when the subjects thought their attributions would be public. (Author/JAC)
