SP lecture 5&6 Flashcards
ABC of attitudes-> tripartite model
- affective = feelings about object
- behaviour = actions towards object
- cognitive = knowledge about object
how do we evaluate attributions
- consistency
- primacy of negative info
- accessibility
attitude objects
people, social groups, objects, ourself
2 reasons why we form attitudes
- mastery: knowledge simplication (bv Iphone = goed), instrumental value
- connectedness: social identity, impression management
explicit attitude measurment (voorbeeld en - punten)
- self report
- social desirability, no introspection
implicit associations test meet…
conceptually: mental distance between target and attitude. but it actually measures reaction time.
congruent = faster reaction time than incongruent.
implicit associations test - punten
- noisy
- need to find the right stimuli
- need to contrast categories
- meet niet goed eigenlijk
facial electromyography
meet uncontrollable facial movements
maar:
-noisy
-cultural differences in muscle movement
-niet precise
fMRI op amygdala: meten fear (-punten)
- niet precies
- we do not know the brain that well
- expensive
automatic vs controlled: which one is hot and cold>
automatic = hot
controlled = cold
associative, heuristics and analytical: waar horen ze bij?
associative = mere exposure
heuristics = superficial
analytical = systematic
subliminal priming experiment chinese signs:
like it better when a smiling woman occured, then butter, then angry woman
andere naam voor heuristics
cognitive shortcuts
attitude change or formation is influenced by
source - who
medium - how
message - what
the source: biases
- expertise bias
- attractiveness bias
the message: biases
- meer info is meer geloven
- availability heuristics
- order effects:
primacy effect vs recency effect - fear arousing
when does fear arousing work
- moderate levels of fear
- compared with good solution
systematic information processing theory
attention - understanding - elaboration (sterker maken!) - acceptance
when can we elaborate on attitudes?
If you are motivated
* Relevance of topic
* Mood
* Personality
* Need for cognition
geen motivatie als:
* you dont believe there is an issue
* you are not close to the topic
* happy people: less motivated
If you are capable
* Time pressure
* Distraction
* Lower resources in general
geen capable als:
* moeheid (representativeness heuristic: jess is a girl and jess likes taylor swift)
* scarcity mindset (luisteren naar sad music bij uncertain prime: minder boeken kopen, happy music juist meer. -> uncertain prime leidt dus tot de hele tijd twijfelen en attitude veranderen. bij certain prime bleef het hetzelfde)
we dont change attitudes when we…
▪ Ignore
▪ Reinterpret
▪ Resist
Especially LESS likely to change when we …
▪ Know a persuasion attempt is happening
▪ Process systematically
▫ Motivation
▫ Capacity
wanneer resistant to attitude change
van 18-25 minst resistent, na 25 resistant.
intelligence and attitude change
low iq = suggestible
high iq = less suggestible
Greenwald, Poehlman, Uhlmann, and Banaji (2009; GPUB hereafter) reported an average predictive
validity correlation of r .236 for Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures involving Black–White
racial attitudes and stereotypes. Oswald, Mitchell, Blanton, Jaccard, and Tetlock (2013; OMBJT)
reported a lower aggregate figure for correlations involving IAT measures (r .148). The difference
between the estimates of the 2 reviews was due mostly to their use of different policies for including
effect sizes. GPUB limited their study to findings that assessed theoretically expected attitude– behavior
and stereotype–judgment correlations along with others that the authors expected to show positive
correlations. OMBJT included a substantial minority of correlations for which there was no theoretical
expectation of a predictive relationship. Regardless of inclusion policy, both meta-analyses estimated
aggregate correlational effect sizes that were large enough to explain discriminatory impacts that are
societally significant either because they can affect many people simultaneously or because they can
repeatedly affect single persons.
oke
self-perception theory
people observe themselves to know what their attitudes are
-> especially for attitude formation!!
self-perception and attitude 2 voorbeelden
- body movement (lichaam laat zien wat we ergens van vinden)
- foot in the door
