Study Notes
Social Cognition and Attribution
- In a company "X", there are 20 office staff and 80 programmers, with Alex being an employee at the company for 5 years.
- Alex is described as a tall, attractive woman who enjoys puzzles, painting, and rock climbing, and is proficient in typing and communication.
- The likelihood of Alex being a programmer is 100%, as there are 80 programmers in the company and she works for the same company.
- People use schemas to organize knowledge around themes and topics and to filter out unnecessary information.
- Schemas contain basic knowledge and impressions of others, ourselves, social roles, and events.
- Schemas help in freeing up valuable cognitive resources and reducing ambiguity.
- Schemas are influenced by culture and guide attention, affecting cognitive effects and determining which schemas are applied.
- Heuristics are mental shortcuts that guide problem-solving and decision-making, but they do not guarantee accuracy and can lead to errors in judgment.
- Common examples of heuristics include representativeness, availability, anchoring and adjustment, and affect.
- Controlled social cognition involves conscious, intentional, voluntary, and effortful mental processes.
- Causal attribution is the process through which people seek to identify the causes of others' behavior and gain knowledge of their stable traits and dispositions.
- Theoretical perspectives on attribution include Heider's naïve scientist theory, Jones & Harris's correspondence inference theory, and Kelly's three types of information for deducing personality.
