Improving Women's Performance in Mixed-Sex Situations by Effort Attributions
Seventy-two males and 72 females in either mixed-sex, same-sex or alone situations were led to fail on an initial task. Prior to a second task, they were given either a neutral orientation or an ego-involving orientation emphasizing attributions to effort. Without the effort attribution, women in the mixed-sex situation had lower expectations than men, performed worse, rewarded themselves less and attributed their poor performance to a lack of ab…
Probabilities of an Aversive Event and Physiological Correlates of Stress
In Exp. I, 60 undergraduates were exposed to either a 10%, 50%, 90%, or 100% probability of shock after a 15-sec. anticipation period. The 90% condition produced greater changes in GSR than the 50% and 100% conditions and greater increases in heart rate than the 50% condition. In Exp. II, 60 undergraduates were exposed to either a 10%, 50%, 90%, or 99% probability of a potentially avoidable aversive event. The 90% condition produced greater chang…
Effects of knowledge of self‐interest and social relationship upon the use of equity, utilitarian, and Rawlsian principles of allocation
Subjects played a game and were told they had the high score, low score, or were not informed which score was their own. They were previously led to like or dislike the other. Relative performance was generally considered in allocating rewards, indicating the use of an equity principle. Performance was not used as a criteria for allocation, however, by subjects who were uncertain of their score in positive social relationships and poor performers…

Findings characteristic of women included fewer responses in class and greater reluctance to tell others if they made successful grades. Findings characteristic of high Fear of Success respondents included lower law aptitude scores an…
