Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

959
Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

987
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Attribution Theory

Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Naturalistic Observations

18.2K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

14.1K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Counterfactual Thinking01:19

Counterfactual Thinking

411
Counterfactual thinking is a cognitive process wherein individuals mentally reconstruct alternative versions of past events, often beginning with “what if” or “if only.” This reflective mechanism plays a significant role in shaping emotional experiences and guiding future behavior. Though typically triggered by unfavorable or unexpected outcomes, counterfactual thinking can also emerge in mundane, everyday decisions and experiences, revealing its deep entrenchment in...

Summary

This study explores how narrativity can be integrated into Grounded Theory Methodology. It proposes a method to use narrative aspects in data analysis, coding, and presenting results for richer qualitative research.

Area of Science:

  • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Sociology
  • Narrative Inquiry

Background:

  • Grounded Theory Methodology (GTM) is a widely used qualitative research approach.
  • The role of narrativity within GTM has not been fully explored.
  • Existing GTM approaches may overlook narrative elements in data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illuminate the significance of narrativity in Grounded Theory Methodology.
  • To propose and explore a GTM approach sensitive to narrative aspects.
  • To demonstrate how narrativity can inform coding, category development, and results presentation.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual exploration of narrativity within GTM.
  • Development of a GTM approach integrating narrative data.
  • Systematic application of narrative principles to GTM processes.

Main Results:

  • Identified narrativity as a key aspect of qualitative data.
  • Outlined a framework for incorporating narrative analysis into GTM.
  • Demonstrated how narrative sensitivity enhances GTM's analytical and presentational phases.

Conclusions:

  • Narrativity can be systematically integrated into Grounded Theory Methodology.
  • A narrative-sensitive GTM approach offers a more nuanced understanding of qualitative data.
  • This approach enriches the coding, category development, and reporting of GTM studies.
