Document Summary

Judgements about causes of our own and other people"s behaviour and outcomes. People"s behaviour is caused by their inner traits. A woman was paid and told to act friendly to some students, unfriendly to others. Students felt that her behaviour was part of her disposition, even when they were told that she was just obeying instructions. Depressed people = more dispositional attributions for failures. Collectivist cultures = more responsibility for failures. Positive or negative evaluative reactions towards a stimulus. Attitudes have the strongest influence on behaviour when: The attitude is specific to the behaviour. A political campaigner asks if you would open the door just enough to pass a clipboard through (or a footor a penis) The tendency to be more likely to agree to a large request after agreeing to a small one. People adjust their attitudes along with their actions. They like people that they agreed to help and dislike people that they.
