Cause and Effect

11.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

398
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:...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

External cues impact memory accuracy but not confidence in source memory tasks. This confidence validity dissociation (CVD) suggests subjective confidence can be unreliable when external influences are present.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • External cues influence recognition memory accuracy and confidence.
  • A confidence validity dissociation (CVD) is observed where confidence is less affected by cue validity than accuracy, particularly for hits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if the CVD extends to source memory tasks, which rely on recollection.
  • To determine if subjective confidence in source attributions is affected by external cue validity.

Main Methods:

  • Five source-memory experiments were conducted manipulating encoding location or study list.
  • Participants received predictive arrow cues (75% valid) indicating the source of memory probes.
  • Accuracy and confidence ratings for source judgments were analyzed in relation to cue validity.

Main Results:

  • Cue validity significantly affected source memory accuracy across all experiments.
  • Mean confidence ratings for both correct and incorrect source judgments remained unaffected by cue validity.
  • Analysis of prior recognition data showed confidence is unaffected by cue validity for "old" items but affected for "new" items.

Conclusions:

  • Subjective confidence in source attributions can become detached from accuracy when external cues are present.
  • The findings suggest retrieval schemas and decision heuristics influence confidence judgments, contributing to the observed dissociation.
