5. Other social-cognitive theories. (a) What are the two dimensions Weiner used to classify causal attributions (explanations)?

Make a scheme to show where the 4 causes fit that 2 by 2 scheme. (b) Which of the Weiner dimensions did Carol Dweck pick up in her work on implicit theories (or what she now calls “mindsets”)?

She emphasized two broad beliefs that influence thinking, motivation, and behavior. What are the two beliefs called and how do they differ? (c) What concept did Higgins steal from Rogers?

 

Researchers classify attributions along two dimensions: internal vs. external and stable vs. unstable. By combining these two dimensions of attributes, researchers can classify a particular attribution as being internal-stable, internal-unstable, external-stable, or external-unstable.

What are the two dimension of Weiner’s model of attribution?
Weiner (1972) created a model that categorises attributions . There are two main categories that Weiner identified: locus of causality and locus of stability. Locus of causality refers to factors that were within the individual or not. Internal factors could be their ability, effort, skill level or health.
What are the two types of causal attributions that people make?
Researchers typically distinguish between dispositional attributions (something about the person caused the event) and situational attributions (something about the environment caused the event).
What are the two types of causal relationships?

Causal relationships between variables may consist of direct and indirect effects. Direct causal effects are effects that go directly from one variable to another. Indirect effects occur when the relationship between two variables is mediated by one or more variables.
What are the four dimensions of attribution theory?
In study 1 we find that these attributions are best described by four psychological dimensions, which we interpret as “warmth”, “competence”, “femininity”, and “youth”.
