Q

5 informationskällorna för att attribuera?

A
  1. Viljestyrda beteenden är mer indikativa - ger oss bättre grund att attribuera beteende på.
  2. Non-common effects: Det beteende vi väljer av A och B beror på de konsekvenser som vi önskar, baserade på våra avsikter. Detta säger mycket om en persons disposition/personlighet/avsiktet.
  3. Socialt önskvärda beteenden - säger inte mycket om en persons disposition.
  4. Hedonisk relevans - Om andras beteende har direkta konsekvenser för mig som observatör kommer den emotionella relevansen att göra att jag attribuerar beteendet dispositionellt och avsiktligt.
  5. Personalism - För mycket fokus på personlighet….

Q

Correspondence bias/fundamentala attributionsfelet

A

Attribuerar beteende till stabila underliggande personliga attribut.

Förklaringar:
1. Focus of attention- Vi fokuserar inte på situationen utan på personen som agerar.
2. Differential forgetting - Vi minns egenskaper mer än situationella egenskaper.
3. Linguistic facilitation - Språket gör det lättare att beskriva person och handling lättare än vad det är att beskriva en situation. Därför kommer man att fokusera på personens koppling till handlingne.

Q

Actor-Observer bias

A

Actor - aktör. Extern attribution för man menar att ens agerade berodde på situationella faktorer.

Observer - Intern attribution, om man observerar ett beteende hos någon annan fokuserar man på personlighet hos den som agerar och att det är personligheten som orsakar beteende. Beror även på att man tror att andras personlighet och beteende är stabilt och statiskt.

Perceptual focus : Fokus på bakgrunden av situationen eller fokus på aktören påverkar hur vi attribuerar.

Informational differences : Tillgång till information påverkar hur vi tillskriver orsaker.

Frustrations-aggressionsteori

A

Fördomar och intergruppkonflikter kan minska genom att förhindra frustration via distraheringar så människor ej blir frustrerade. Frustrationen blir aggression när man ej får katarsis och release, och denna aggression kan riktas mot gruppen som är bättre än en själv men om den är oåtkomlig riktas den orättfärdigt mot en svagare utgrupp som blir scapegoat.
