Document Summary
It is stated that according to ross (1989), two sources of information are generally available . Their current standing (how they feel about the politician right now) Their theories about the stability of diff attributes over time. At the end of this section, there is a reference to commitment. You should be familiar with the consequences of biased recall of behaviour. People will regard previous info that is consistent with their current attitudes as more valid. Thus, ppl may tend to judge past attitudes or behs that are inconsistent w their current prefs as erroneous or atypical thus not representative of either their prior or current beliefs. Ppl"s commitment to new beliefs increased when recall behaving in line w those beliefs in past. They showed that recollections of the same past experiences have diff effects on current evals, depending on whether ppl remember the episodes as subjectively near or far away in time.
