This study examined the attributions made by male and female athletes for their team's success or failure in team sport competition. A total of 180 subjects, made up of ninety-seven male and eighty-three female athletes who completed for their respective Universities in four selected team sports, (basketball, handball, hockey, and volley ball), during the 1995 West African Universities Game (WAUG) at the University of Benin in Nigeria, took part in the study. Rotter's (1966) Internal-external locus of control (LOC) sale, an attribution questionnaire and oral interview guide were used to collect data for the study.
