Document Summary
Important things from chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8. The most common means of measuring personality is self-report surveys. When two people witness something at the same time and in the same situation yet interpret it differently, factors that operate to shape their perceptions reside in the perceivers. An example of internally caused behavior is an employee was fired from work because he violated a company policy. Escalation of commitment is staying with a decision even when there is clear evidence it"s wrong. An area of study that analyzes how people behave when confronted with ethical dilemmas is behavioral ethics. Extremely attractive or unattractive individuals are most likely to be noticed in a group. The reason for this is because people don"t look at targets in isolation. Distinctiveness indicates the extent to which an individual displays different behaviors in different situations. An externally caused behavior is when an employee is late to work because of a punctured tire.
