Basow, Susan A.; Medcalf, Kristi L.

Explores the relationships between gender, sex typing, and attributional patterns in exam performance in a college classroom. Uses an attributional pretest and posttest and the Bem Sex Role Inventory with a sample of 85 male and 52 female students. Finds that gender and sex typing both affect attributions, but in different ways. (FMW)
