A researcher investigated the self-serving bias in attribution using a repeated measures design.
In one condition, undergraduate students were asked to explain the reasons for their success on a cognitive task they were told they had passed.
In a second condition, the same undergraduate students were asked to explain the reasons for their failure on a cognitive task they were told they had failed.
The researcher recorded the number of dispositional (internal) and situational (external) attributions made by the participants in each condition.
