Replication of Meindl & Ehrlich (1987) study 1 (close replication, using MBA students from US universities)

Replication Hypothesis 1: Individuals presented with leadership-attributed causal accounts will evaluate firm performance more favorably in terms of a) profitability, b) risk, c) overall performance, and d) positivity than when the same performance outcomes are attributed to non-leadership factors.

Hypothesis 2a: In success conditions, firm performance evaluations will be rated more positively in the male leader-conditions than female leader- conditions, and both of which are more positive than market conditions.
Hypothesis 2b: In failure conditions, firm performance evaluations will be rated more negatively for the female leader-conditions than male leader-conditions, both of which are more negative than market conditions.

Hypothesis 3a: In success conditions, firm performance evaluations and behavioral intentions will be rated more positively in the male leader-conditions than female leader- conditions, and both of which are more positive than market conditions.
Hypothesis 3b: In failure conditions, firm performance evaluations and behavioral intentions will be rated more negatively for the female leader-conditions than male leader-conditions, both of which are more negative than market conditions.

重复假设1：当个体面对归因于领导力的因果解释时，相较于将相同的表现结果归因于非领导力因素，他们将更积极地评估企业绩效，具体体现在a)盈利能力，b)风险，c)整体绩效和d)正面性方面。
假设2a：在成功条件下，相较于女性领导者情境，男性领导者情境下的企业绩效评估将被评为更积极，且两者均比市场条件更积极。
假设2b：在失败条件下，相较于男性领导者情境，女性领导者情境下的企业绩效评估将被评为更消极，两者均比市场条件更消极。
假设3a：在成功条件下，相较于女性领导者情境，男性领导者情境下的企业绩效评估和行为意向将被评为更积极，且两者均比市场条件更积极。
假设3b：在失败条件下，相较于男性领导者情境，女性领导者情境下的企业绩效评估和行为意向将被评为更消极，两者均比市场条件更消极。
