Collective Task Responsibility Allocation

Revisiting the Group-Serving Bias

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, arantill{at}yahoo.com

This article explores differences in individual- and group-level allocation of responsibility for task performance following positive and negative performance feedback. In two studies, 330 participants completed and received veridical feedback for a verbal performance task. A group identity measure showed higher levels of group identification in groups with face-to-face interaction compared with those that did not interact. On several measures, both individual-and group-level responses exhibited the classic self- or group-serving response pattern (higher internal attributions for success than for failure). Empirical evidence documents and further refines understanding of a group-serving response pattern in several types of actual collectives.
