Two studies test relationships drawn from the same theory of rating error behavior. One conclusion regarding sex effects appeared consistently in both studies. Both types of rating error seemed to be predominant among female raters. Rating errors due to the following effect appeared to be almost totally a characteristic of female raters, and female raters had significantly more trait errors than males on the trait of general effectiveness. These results tend to indicate that the sex of the rater is an important aspect to consider in analyzing rating results.
