Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2006.

I explore whether and under what conditions women take less credit for successful work outcomes when they are achieved while working jointly with men. I propose women's derogation of relative contribution is a consequence of a self-attributional rationalization, one of the processes by which individuals reconcile discrepancies between performance expectations and subsequent outcomes in the presence of source ambiguity. My central thesis is that the diagnostic power of explicit and objectively excellent performance outcomes is challenged when the degree of individual contribution to an outcome is unclear. The resulting ambiguity regarding the source of the outcome creates fertile ground for stereotype-based expectations to color subsequent individual self-evaluations. In a series of four experimental studies, participants were led to believe they were working with another study participant on a male sex-typed task for which they were jointly responsible. All participants received (false) extremely positive feedback about their performance. Results indicated that unless the source of the performance outcome was irrefutably clear (Studies 1 & 2), or there was no other reliable person to whom the successful outcome could be attributed to (Study 3), women attributed more credit to their teammate, and took less credit themselves, for their involvement in the successful outcome. Results of Study 4 provided additional support for the notion that performance expectations are at the root of self-attributional rationalization: when provided with positive' performance expectations women no longer engaged in self-attributional rationalization even in the presence of source ambiguity; it was only in the absence of specific information about future performance effectiveness that women gave more credit to their teammate and took less credit for themselves. Implications of these results, both theoretical and practical, are discussed.
