Attribution and Distribution: The Weight of Performance, Effort, and Ability in the Allocation of Jointly Attained Gains and Losses.

Kayser, Egon; Lamm, Helmut

Social Behavior and Personality, v10 n1 p105-16 1982

Investigated the allocation of positive and negative outcomes of joint work. College students (N=94) allocated gain or loss based on information about their own and partner's ability and effort and differences in performance. Allocations to discount differences in contributions were based on differences in ability rather than effort. (RC)
