It was hypothesized that personal involvement affects actors' and observers' effort, ability, difficulty, and luck attributions. In addition, different involvement levels were expected to affect actors' and observers' consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency information estimates. Results partially confirm Kelley's attribution model. The findings support the notion that involvement is relevant to interpretations of actors' and observers' attribution differences and information inferences.
