Effort Survey Results
Thank you all for participating in our survey.
Attribution theory posits that low effort in an individual is perceived as having an internal locus of control, that it is unstable, and it is controllable. However, with a group, low effort by an individual may lead to feelings of guilt by that individual, whereas low effort by a teammate may bring about anger in a high performing individual and the other's effort may be seen as external, stable, and uncontrollable.
By the answers given in Questions 3 & 4, people responded as attribution theory would predict: people generally felt guilt if they did not work as hard as they thought they should have, they felt anger if the partner did not work as hard as the individual thought the partner should have worked.
People worked harder when they were put into groups as is evidenced by the results shown in Questions 1 & 2. This is probably due to the motivating aspect of relatedness - trying harder when others are involved,
Here are the results of the Effort survey.
