Attitudes

33.3K
Attitude is our evaluation of a person, an idea, or an object. We have attitudes for many things ranging from products that we might pick up in the supermarket to people around the world to political policies. Typically, attitudes are favorable or unfavorable: positive or negative (Eagly & Chaiken, 1993). And, they have three components: an affective component (feelings), a behavioral component (the effect of the attitude on behavior), and a cognitive component (belief and knowledge;...

Cognitive Dissonance

37.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

746
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:...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.6K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Causes of Similarity-Dissimilarity Effect01:26

Causes of Similarity-Dissimilarity Effect

278
The similarity-dissimilarity effect, a fundamental concept in social psychology, explains how interpersonal similarities and differences influence attraction and social interactions. This effect is supported by three key psychological perspectives: balance theory, social comparison theory, and consensual validation.Balance Theory and Cognitive ConsistencyBalance theory, developed by Fritz Heider, posits that individuals seek cognitive consistency in their relationships. When two people share...

Area of Science:

  • Philosophy of Language
  • Formal Semantics
  • Logic

Background:

  • Puzzles concerning propositional attitudes often involve referential dependencies within an agent's mental states.
  • Hans Kamp's framework, based on DRT and dynamic semantics, offers a method for analyzing interconnected attitude complexes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the limitations of Kamp's framework in handling referential dependencies between semantically conflicting attitudes.
  • To propose a novel solution for puzzles like Ninan's puzzle about de re imagination.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of referential dependencies in propositional attitudes.
  • Critique of Hans Kamp's existing framework.
  • Development of a two-dimensional analysis for attitude representation.

Main Results:

  • Kamp's proposal is shown to be inadequate for semantically conflicting attitudes.
  • The proposed two-dimensional analysis offers a potential solution to these puzzles.

Conclusions:

  • A two-dimensional analysis is a more effective approach than context change potentials for modeling complex attitudes.
  • This work contributes to a deeper understanding of referential dependencies in semantics and philosophy of mind.
