Document Summary
(recap) h. kelley"s contribution to (at) was the idea that we notice/think about more than one piece of info when forming judgments. Covarian model: says you"ll examine multiple behaviors from different times and situations to answer that question ^ We gather data about the person"s behavior covaries/changes over time and place (depending on the target of the behavior) Finding covariation helps us reach a conclusion. 1. consensus info: refers to how other people behave toward the same stimulus. 2. distinctiveness: refers to how the actor (person whose behavior we are trying to explain) responds to other stimuli. 3. consistency: refers to the frequency with which the observed behavior between the same actor and one stimulus is the same across time and circumstance. When these info combine, a clear attribution can be made. Fundamental theory/schema about human behavior = people do what they do because of the people they are, not because of the situation they"re in.
