Abstract
Participants read descriptions of a male or female director who did not distribute funds according to organizational needs and were informed that such distribution had or had not occurred before. Participants were then asked to evaluate 10 possible accounts for the behavior. Results showed that previous history of misappropriation, participant gender, and gender of director affected the acceptability of some of the accounts.Keywords
