Abstract: | We report the results of two replication studies using attribution theory to analyze personal and interpersonal motivation
for collaborative projects. Undergraduate students responded to questionnaires containing hypothetical vignettes depicting
success or failure outcomes due to ability or effort for dyads working on a group project. Dependent measures included emotions
of shame, anger, pity, guilt, pride, and gratitude, as well as expectations for future success. Following the same procedures
as the original study, we used doubly multivariate analyses to test 21 theoretical predictions from attribution theory for
emotions and expectations for success. We replicated 17 of 21 results across all three studies and 20 of 21 results in the
two replication studies. Results are discussed within the context of attribution theory. |
