The authors investigate the attributional processes involved in marketing planning. Using MARKSTRAT, a marketing simulation game, as a research setting, they find that decision makers are likely to have self-serving biases in their causal attributions for performance. The attributions are related to marketing decision makers’ intrinsic incentives to succeed, expectations of future performance, and planning behavior.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether mother presence and absence have a differential effect on children's and mothers' attributional responses for performance outcomes. It was hypothesized that children whose mothers were present to observe them perform a task would rate their effort and ability higher under success and lower under failure conditions. It also was expected that mothers' attributional ratings would follow a similar pattern for ability and effort attributions as well as ratings of their children's future performance. Forty male children in grades 3 and 4 and their mothers participated in the investigation. The data indicated a significant performance-(success and failure)-by-maternal-involvement (presence and absence) interaction for children's attributional ratings of effort, task difficulty, and luck and for mothers' attributional ratings of their children's effort, task difficulty, and future performance.
