Chapter 13 behaviour in a social context. Attribution: perceiving the causes of behaviour: attributions judg(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts a(cid:271)out the (cid:272)auses of ou(cid:396) o(cid:449)(cid:374) a(cid:374)d othe(cid:396) people"s (cid:271)eha(cid:448)iou(cid:396) and outcomes, attributions influence our subsequent behaviour and emotions. Consider that east asians, in general, tend to hold a more holistic view of the universe than westerners. This leads east asians to develop more complex views about the causes of behaviour and they take a greater amount of information i(cid:374)to a(cid:272)(cid:272)ou(cid:374)t (cid:449)he(cid:374) (cid:373)aki(cid:374)g (cid:272)ausal att(cid:396)i(cid:271)utio(cid:374)s fo(cid:396) othe(cid:396) people"s (cid:271)eha(cid:448)iou(cid:396) In interacting with others, our initial, unfounded expectations can influence how we behave toward them, thereby shaping their behaviour in a way that ultimately confirms our expectations. Does our behaviour influence our attitudes: we also may come to develop attitudes that are consistent with the way we behave. If we see someone exerting great effort to achieve a goal, we will judge, logically, that the goal is i(cid:373)po(cid:396)ta(cid:374)t to that pe(cid:396)so(cid:374).
