AP Psychology 12 Ms Carey SOCIAL THINKING Attribution Theory – Fritz Heider the theory that we explain someone’s behaviour by crediting either the situation or the person’s disposition (personality traits vs. external situations) example: at a party, is a guy smiling because he is a happy guy OR b/c the party makes him happy? Fundamental Attribution Error- when we overemphasize personality influence and underestimating situational influences example: some people assume homeless people are too lazy to get a job- not true What is Attribution?- why certain events occurred or why a person acted a certain way - Attitudes & Action (central route persuasion & peripheral route p.646) Actions Affect Attitudes o The Foot In the Door Phenomeon- the tendency for people who have first agreed to a small request to comply with a larger request o Social Roles- expectations on how one should behave in certain social positions- dependent on culture o Cognitive Dissonance Theory- the theory that we act to reduce the discomfort (dissonance) we feel when two of our thoughts (cognitions) are inconsistent. If what we believe and what we do are inconsistent, we feel uncomfortable tension and try to reduce this by changing our attitudes. o Looking Glass Effect- when we are aware of our attitudes, we are more likely to guide our actions. Researchers have made participants more aware by installing mirrors in the laboratory. Assignment: a) For each of the highlighted above words/terms/concepts- I want you to give a specific example. So write down the word and give me a specific example of each. b) Then answer the following question: Driving to school one snowy day, Marco narrowly misses a car that slides through a red light. “Slow down! What a terrible drive.” he thinks to himself. Moments later, Marco himself slips through an intersection and yells “Wow! These roads are awful. The city plows need to get out here.” What social psychology principle has Marco just demonstrated? Explain with correct terms and ideas.
