Study Notes
Social Cognition and Attribution
- Linda and George's interaction is described but their relationship status is not clear.
- In company "X," there are 20 office staff and 80 programmers, giving a 20% likelihood of Alex being a programmer.
- Schemas are inferred knowledge structures that organize information and reduce ambiguity.
- Schemas guide attention and can lead to cognitive effects such as confirmation bias.
- Heuristics are mental shortcuts that guide decision-making and problem-solving, but they can lead to errors.
- Examples of heuristics include representativeness, availability, anchoring and adjustment, and affect.
- Controlled social cognition involves intentional and voluntary mental effort.
- Mental control and thought suppression are influenced by energy levels and stress.
- Attribution is the process through which people seek to identify the causes of behavior.
- Theoretical perspectives on attribution include Heider's naive scientist theory and Jones & Harris' correspondence inference theory.
- Kelly's perspective on attribution involves deducing personality based on consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency.
- Specific examples are given to illustrate how consensus, distinctiveness, and consistency can predict personality.
