Document Summary
3 variables to make inferences on ppl"s decisions: Are they a person"s true feelings (chosen side / forced?) Develop strong emotion for actors based on how portrayed. Expectation: what we expect the behavior to be. Smoking company non-smoking ads = portray caring image. Yes continue to explanation (she doesn"t study) Yes = behave driven bit situation (get mad at other subjects?) yes renee"s personality. Yes situational (everyone"s mad psych mark influenced by the factor) No disposition (diff ppl behave differently in same situation diff personalities) specific problem with psyc. Fae: over evaluate dispositional factors > situational factors. Ross: more often to use dispositional factors for others (they"re not smart - they failed) More likely to use situational factors for self: more aware of the situation (had too many assignments and shit goin on to study) Actor / observer effect: situational factors for own behavior. You (actor) = more aware of situational factors contribute to own behavior.
