learned helplessness
feeling of lack of control over negative events
correspondence bias

cognitive distortions
how important we think we are “what we do is the normal”
ascertaining intentions
interpreting behaviour. Can be situational or dispositional
correspondent inference
inferring things from a person based on his/her behavior
casual schemata
how we explain events with insufficient information
multiple sufficient causes
with only one cause the event can take place, expected events
multiple necessary causes
all of the causes need to take place for the event t happen, unexpected events
systematic error
type of bias which occurs always in the same way. They can be attributional (systematic) or cognitive biases (judgment inclination)
double naïve psychologist
we try to explain behaviour and to give dispositional explanations. We only try to explain behaviour when it is unusual
fundamental attribution error
we overestimate dispositional causes and underestimate situational causes when explaining behaviour
actor-observer perspective
actor attribute to situational, observers to dispositional. We use different attributional patterns when we judge others and ourselves
self-enhancement bias
to enhance the view we have of ourselves. Positive internal, negative external
(depressed people opposite)
totalitarian ego
psychological egocentrism for common sense functioning
-egocentric bias
-self-enhancement bias
-cognitive conservatism biases
false consensus bias
thought that what we do, think or feel is more common than it actually is
illusion of control
the conception that we have more impact on the world than we really have. Feeling of control
inflated responsibility judgments
to overestimate our personal contribution to collective tasks
spotlight effect
thinking that people pay us more attention than they really do
curse of knowledge
everybody know what I know, therefore see things as I do
Naïve realism
the world is exactly like I see i, if people see it differently they have distorted view
importance of attentional focus
behavior is explained by factors linked to what we are paying attention to
importance of available info
the amount of information we have about the person who’s behavior is being explained. We think we react depending on the situation but people do it depending on their personality, do not know them as well
socio-cultural explanations
common sense changes among cultures. There are individualistic and collectivistic countries
Icheisers pessimism
modern society has the belief that success follows automatically from the competence of the individual
