Study Notes

Judging Others Outside Our Group

  • When judging others outside our group with positive behavior, we tend to make situational attribution.
  • We typically judge individuals from outside our group who display positive behavior as being influenced by external circumstances rather than their internal characteristics.
  • This means that we often attribute their positive behavior to luck, chance, or circumstance rather than their personality or abilities.
  • This is in contrast to when we judge others within our group, where we tend to make personal attribution and attribute their positive behavior to their internal characteristics.
  • Therefore, it is false that we tend to judge others (who are not in our group) with personal attribution when they display positive behavior.
  • On the other hand, it is true that we tend to judge others (who are not in our group) with situational attribution when they display positive behavior.
