Attributions: never absolutes just inferences which have explanations, attribution theory tend to gi(cid:448)e (cid:272)ausal e(cid:454)pla(cid:374)atio(cid:374) for so(cid:373)eo(cid:374)e(cid:859)s (cid:271)eha(cid:448)iour, (cid:272)rediti(cid:374)g either internal dispositions or external situations. No just unusual situation yes need to ask more questions like: does he only want to date her. Insufficient cognitive resources automatically make internal attribution with time/effort/motivation to make situational claims: cultural difference western culture =dispositional, eastern culture = situational. Implicit association test most common measurement of implicit attitudes: based o(cid:374) idea 2 (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:272)epts stro(cid:374)gl(cid:455) asso(cid:272)iated i(cid:374) people(cid:859)s (cid:373)i(cid:374)ds. In some trials, compatible/congruent stimuli are responded to on a single response key eg flowers good insects bad. If there isnt association in your mind should have same reaction time to incongruent trials. Iat effect: difference in response latency between congruent and incongruent trials provide index of strength of association: do attitudes predict behaviour, 70s study shows no correlation.
