Study Notes
Study Tips
- Concentrate on theories, their applications, and procedural steps.
- Understand experiments thoroughly, including variables and outcomes.
- Relate academic examples to personal experiences for better retention.
Attributions
- Distinguish between internal attributions (personality/disposition) and external attributions (situational factors).
- The fundamental attribution error occurs when people ignore situational influences, leading them to judge others primarily based on personality traits.
Cultural Differences in Attributions
- Individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S.) tend to favor internal attributions.
- Collectivistic cultures (e.g., many Asian countries) show a preference for external attributions.
Covariation Model
- The covariation model assesses attributions based on consensus (behavior similarity among others), distinctiveness (behavior uniqueness in the situation), and consistency (behavior patterns over time).
- People often approach attribution similar to scientists, observing behaviors and drawing conclusions.
Actor-Observer Bias
- This bias reflects the tendency to attribute personal actions to external factors while attributing others' actions to internal characteristics.
- Individuals maintain a positive self-image by unconsciously demonstrating kindness towards their own circumstances and harshness towards others.
Just World Hypothesis
- Belief in a just world leads individuals to think that everyone gets what they deserve, resulting in blaming victims for their misfortunes.
- This hypothesis allows people to rationalize inequities by attributing success to moral character and failure to personal faults.
Self-Concept and Self-Awareness
- Self-concept comprises beliefs about oneself, influenced by family, culture, and experiences; it includes self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self.
- Self-awareness helps individuals recognize themselves as distinct entities separate from surroundings and others.
Development of Self
- Development of self involves stages and theories, notably Freud's ego development theory, which starts around age two.
- Carl Rogers highlights self-concept components, including self-image and self-esteem, shaping how individuals understand themselves.
Roger's View of Self-Development
- Roger's theory posits that self-concept is dynamic, shaped by past experiences, present context, and future aspirations, integrating ideas of self-esteem.
Self-Concept Material
- William James' theory categorizes self into material, social, and spiritual self; cultural differences significantly influence non-verbal communication, such as gestures.
Implicit Personality Theory
- Implicit Personality Theory describes how limited information leads people to make assumptions about others, often resulting in stereotypes.
- Schemas in the brain are used to fill in missing information, influencing perceptions based on appearance and surface traits.
Attribution Theory
- Attribution Theory examines how individuals explain behaviors and events, distinguishing between internal and external attributions.
- Fundamental Attribution Error highlights a common bias where internal dispositions are overemphasized, overlooking situational factors influencing behavior.
Fundamental Attribution Error
- This error showcases the inclination to link others' actions to personality rather than recognizing external influences affecting them.
- Mood influences attribution types, with personal satisfaction in relationships impacting perceptions of partners’ behaviors, whether attributing them to internal traits or external circumstances.
