Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

808
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:...

Behavior Modification01:21

Behavior Modification

834
Behavioral approaches have often been criticized for ignoring mental processes and focusing solely on observable behavior. However, these approaches provide an optimistic perspective for individuals seeking to change their behaviors. Rather than concentrating on intrinsic personality traits, behavioral approaches suggest that even longstanding habits can be modified by changing the reward contingencies that maintain them.

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

245
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Protecting Self-Esteem

253
Self-esteem, a central component of psychological well-being, is actively maintained through various cognitive and behavioral strategies. Individuals employ specific mechanisms to preserve a positive self-concept and mitigate threats to their self-worth, particularly in contexts involving social evaluation or personal feedback. Four primary techniques are commonly used to sustain self-esteem.Manipulating AppraisalsOne prominent strategy involves manipulating appraisals from others. Individuals...

Lazarus's Cognitive Appraisal Theory

2.4K
Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
Primary Appraisal:...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Management Science
  • Behavioral Economics

Background:

  • Understanding rater behavior in performance appraisal is crucial for organizational effectiveness.
  • Managerial and military officer dispositions may significantly influence appraisal outcomes.
  • Existing models may not fully capture the multifaceted nature of rater decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the structural relationships between managers' and military officers' characteristics and their appraisal behavior.
  • To investigate how personality, attitudes, and beliefs impact performance ratings, dimension discrimination, and rate discrimination.
  • To validate a definitional system for understanding rater behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Collected data on personality characteristics, attitudes, and beliefs from 498 managers and military officers.
  • Utilized a mapping sentence with modality, reference group, and aspect facets to define appraisal constructs.
  • Analyzed the relationships between rater characteristics and three measures of rater behavior.

Main Results:

  • Empirical results largely confirmed the proposed definitional system for rater behavior.
  • A significant finding was the identification of three distinct regions influencing rater behavior: Self (rater), Ratee, and Organization/System.
  • These three factors were found to be equally proximal in determining rater behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Managerial and military officer characteristics are structurally related to their appraisal behavior.
  • The study supports a model where self, ratee, and organizational considerations jointly and equally influence performance appraisal.
  • Further research is recommended to explore these dynamics and their implications.
