It\u27s Not Me, It\u27s Not You, It\u27s Us! An Empirical Examination of Relational Attributions

It has recently been suggested that attribution theory expand its locus of causality dimension beyond internal and external attributions to include relational (i.e., interpersonal) attributions (Eberly, Holley, Johnson, & Mitchell, 2011). The current investigation was designed to empirically focus on relationship dynamics, specifically where 1 member of the relationship receives negative performance-related feedback. We use quantitative and qualitative data from 7 samples (5 samples for scale validation in Study 1 and 2 for hypothesis testing in Studies 2 and 3) that provide empirical support for the existence and impact of relational attributions. Our findings identify the circumstances under which relational attributions are likely to be formed and indicate that relational attributions are related to relational improvement behaviors, particularly when employees are of the same sex as their relationship partner and perceive sufficient time and energy to engage in relational improvement efforts. A personal attribute, relational self, contrary to expectations, did not moderate the link between relational attributions and improvement behaviors. These findings make an important contribution to attribution theory by providing evidence for the criticality of relational attributions within interdependent work relationships

Table S2 from Snake fungal disease: an emerging threat to wild snakes

Fungal operational taxonomic units (OTUs) recovered from the skin of snakes. Each unique internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region DNA sequence variant (i.e., 100% identity) was assigned a numerical code and a presumptive taxon identification. The NWHC case number (see table S1) of the host(s) from which each variant was recovered is specified. A representative DNA sequence for each variant has been deposited in GenBank; bolded case numbers depict the snakes from which these deposited fungal DNA sequences originated. The assignment of each ITS variant to an OTU based on cut-offs of 99.5%, 99%, 98%, and 97% sequence identities is shown, with each OTU given an alpha-numeric cod

Table S4 from Snake fungal disease: an emerging threat to wild snakes

Additional samples analyzed by fungal culture to assess the known host range and geographic distribution of Ophidiomyces. Location data is displayed only to the county level due to concerns with disclosing specific locations of rare or sensitive snake populations. The type of growth medium upon which the fungus culture was performed is listed in the last column (DTM = dermatophyte test medium; IMA = inhibitory mold agar; PFA = potato flake agar; SD = Sabouraud's dextrose agar

Table S1 from Snake fungal disease: an emerging threat to wild snakes

Samples used to determine the types of fungi associated with dermatitis in wild snakes. Location data are displayed only to the county (or sometimes state) level due to concerns with disclosing specific locations of rare or sensitive snake populations. Fungal infection was assessed by examining histologic sections of skin lesions. The number of gross lesions consistent with dermatitis were categorized as "none" (no gross skin lesions observed), "single" (one lesion), "multiple" (more than one discrete lesion), or "not assessed" (no information was available on the number of skin lesions present). The type of fungal growth medium upon which samples were cultured is listed as "DTM" (dermatophyte test medium) or "SD" (Sabouraud dextrose medium containing chloramphenicol and gentamycin). The number of unique internal transcribed spacer region DNA sequences identified per snake (or operational taxonomic units [OTUs] at 100% sequence identity) is listed. Samples originating from snakes cited in previous literature are specifie
