How would we obtain an overall assessment of our new roommate? Friendly +8 Good listener+5 Financially responsible+9 Additive Model:+22 Averaging Model: +7.3 Next, we incorporate a new piece of information: Intelligent+3 Additive Model:+25 Averaging Model:6.25 In the additive model, any new piece of positive information improves our overall assessment. In the averaging model a weak, positive piece of new information might lower our overall assessment.

I. Attribution Theory A. What is It? 1. Naïve scientist B. Dispositional vs. Situational Attributions 1. Subtractive Rule C. Covariation Principle (Kelley) 1. Three sources of behavior a. Actor b. Object c. Context

C. Kelly Covariation (cont’d) 2. Sources of information for making attribution a. Consensus b. Consistency c. Distinctiveness 3. Examples

Kelley’s Cube (e.g., McArthur, 1972) ConsensusDistinctivenessConsistencyAttribution Low Few people laughed Low Mary laughs at everyone High Mary always laughs at Joe Actor (86%) The laughter is due to traits of Mary. High Everyone laughed High Mary rarely laughs High Mary always laughs at Joe Object (61%) The laughter is due to Joe’s comedic skills. Low Few people laughed High Mary rarely laughs Low Mary rarely laughs at Joe Context (72%) The laughter reflects time/place. Is Joe the Comedian funny? Is Mary easily amused? Or is tonight a special event?

D. Sources of Bias in Making Attributions 1. Correspondence bias (Jones 1979) a. Explanations 2. Actor-observer effect (“You fell, I was pushed”) a. Explanations 3. Self-serving bias (“I’m good, you’re lucky”) a. Explanations

E. Attributions for Success and Failure 1. Dimensions a. Locus of control b. Stability 2. Combinations a. Internal/stable = Ability (your ability at logic & reasoning) b. Internal/unstable = Effort (how many hours you studied the LSAT guide) c. External/stable = Task difficulty (how difficult the test is) d. External/unstable = Luck

Attributions for Success and Failure Locus of Control InternalExternal StableAbilityTask difficulty UnstableEffortLuck Source: Weiner et al., 1972

F. Consequences of Success & Failure Attributions 1. Such attributions may affect subsequent achievement behaviors and motivation; future achievement expectancies; persistence at similar tasks; pride or shame felt following success or failure. a. Optimistic attribution style. Negative outcomes attributed external, unstable and specific causes; and positive outcomes to internal, stable, global causes. b. Pessimistic attribution style. Negative outcomes attributed to internal, stable, and global forces. (I’m a bad person); positive events in terms of external, unstable, and specific causes.
