Study Notes
Forced Choice
- People are more likely to stay in the status quo, even if it is not positive.
- 48% of people chose to receive a shock just to stay in the status quo.
Anchoring Effect
- People are prone to overemphasize the first piece of information they receive, even when unrelated to the task
- Initial exposure impacts judgement
- Example: Estimating the number of jelly beans in a jar
- Legal professionals are not immune to the anchoring effect
Priming
- Exposure to specific content makes related information easier to access in memory
- Activation of memory affects thinking, feeling, and behavior
- Affective priming: Emotional content can influence judgement
Availability Heuristic
- The ease with which something comes to mind influences judgement
- Example: Plane crashes are more heavily reported than car accidents, leading people to believe they are riskier.
Attributions of Social Behavior
- Dispositional Attributions: Focus on internal factors like personality, feelings, morals, and intent.
- Situational Attributions: Focus on external factors such as culture, family, and circumstances.
Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE)
- We tend to underestimate the influence of situations on behavior and overestimate the role of disposition.
- Example: When someone cuts us off, we assume it's because they are a jerk, not because they are in a rush.
- Alex Tribeca Effect: Participants who were randomly assigned as questioners were judged to have higher general knowledge than contestants.
Self-Serving Attributions
- We attribute positive behaviors to our disposition and negative behaviors to the situation.
- Example: If a spouse cooks a meal for you, it's because they are a good person. If they eat your food, it's because they are hungry.
Interpersonal Attraction
- "What is beautiful is good" stereotype: People associate physical attractiveness with positive personality traits.
- "Attractive is Only Average" effect: The average of many faces is more attractive than individual faces.
- Mere exposure effect: Greater exposure increases liking.
- Late Positive Potential (LPP): A brainwave pattern associated with attention, emotion, and memory processes. - The LPP is larger in response to emotional stimuli.
