Fundamental Attribution Theory• The idea that we give a casual
explanation for someone's behavior.•We credit that behavior either to the situation or….
•To the person’s disposition.
Was my friend a jerk because she had a bad day or is just a bad person?

Fundamental Attribution Error• We tend to
overestimate the role of dispositional factors.
Individualistic V. Collectivistic Cultures
False Consensus Effect
Self-Serving Bias
How do you view your teacher’s behavior?
You probably attribute it to their personality rather than their profession.
But do you really know?When you start a
romance, you assume that they agree with your world views….honeymoon period.
If you win it is because you are awesome…if you lose, it must have been the coach or weather or….

Attitudes Can Affect Action
Not only do people stand for what they believe [attitude] in, but they start believing in what they stand for.
Cooperative actions can lead to mutual liking (beliefs).

Foot-in-the-door phenomenon
• The tendency for people who have first agreed to a small request to comply later with a larger request.
• In the Korean war, Chinese communists solicited cooperation from US army prisoners by asking them to carry out small errands. By complying to small errands they were likely to comply with larger ones.
If I give out an answer on a quiz, what happens next?

Door-in-face Phenomenon
• The tendency for people who say no to a huge request, to comply with a smaller one.
If I ask my wife for the 1952 Topps Mantle card ($15k) she will say? NO
But she may let me buy an autographed Derek Jeter baseball..

deindividuate AND become the roles we are given.
• Philip Zimbardo has students at Stanford U play the roles of prisoner and prison guards in the basement of psychology building.
• They were given uniforms and numbers for each prisoner.
• What do you think happened?

Actions Can Affect Attitudes
Why do actions affect attitudes? One explanation is that when our
attitudes and actions are opposed, we experience tension, called cognitive
dissonance.To relieve us of this tension we bring
our attitudes closer to our actions (Festinger, 1957).
Moral actions strengthen moral convictions
