Women, Men, and Their Attributions for Success in Academe

Abstract

In such a visibly hierarchical and success-oriented arena as academe, attributions for success are highly salient. These attributions represent explanations of, and often justifications for, social inequality. We employ data from a national survey of academics in four major fields to analyze the explanations by academics to account for the success of the best-kown people in their fields. More specifically, we analyse the way in which those explanations vary between academic women and academic men
