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).

Social Scripts

9.4K
People tend to know what behavior is expected of them in specific, familiar settings. A script is a person’s knowledge about the sequence of events expected in a specific setting (Schank & Abelson, 1977). Essentially, scripts are a particular kind of schema, one containing default values for the features within an event. In the restaurant example, the script's features include the props (e.g., tables, menu, food, and money), the roles to be played (e.g., customer and waiter),...

Deindividuation00:57

Deindividuation

26.4K
Deindividuation is a form of social influence on an individual’s behavior such that the individual engages in unusual or non-normal behavior while in a group setting. Why? Because in these group settings, the individual no longer sees themselves as an individual anymore, disinhibiting their behavior and personal restraint.

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality01:30

Social Cognitive Perspective on Personality

519
Social cognitive perspectives on personality emphasize the importance of conscious awareness, beliefs, expectations, and goals in shaping behavior. These perspectives incorporate behaviorist principles, such as learning through reinforcement and conditioning, but extend beyond them by highlighting human reasoning and planning. Unlike traditional behaviorist views, social cognitive theory focuses on how individuals reflect on their past experiences and plan for future outcomes by considering...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • Moral emotions interact with self-control and unstructured socializing in explaining rule-breaking behavior.
  • Previous research indicates high moral emotions weaken these effects.
  • The current study investigates these interactions in rule-breaking with friends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine if moral emotions, self-control, and unstructured socializing interact in adolescent rule-breaking with friends.
  • To differentiate between three operationalizations of moral emotions.

Main Methods:

  • A self-report questionnaire battery was administered to 169 adolescents (mean age 14.95 years).
  • Data analyzed to assess interactions between moral emotions, self-control, unstructured socializing, and rule-breaking behavior.
  • Three measures of moral emotions were utilized: anticipated emotions in moral conflicts (AEMC), guilt-proneness, and shame-proneness.

Main Results:

  • High anticipated emotions in moral conflicts (AEMC) attenuated the effect of low self-control on rule-breaking.
  • High guilt- and shame-proneness enhanced the effect of unstructured socializing on rule-breaking, both individually and with friends.
  • Specific moral emotion operationalizations yielded distinct interaction patterns.

Conclusions:

  • The type of moral emotion and its operationalization are crucial in understanding adolescent rule-breaking.
  • Anticipated emotions in moral conflicts may act as a deterrent against rule-breaking linked to low self-control.
  • Guilt and shame proneness may amplify peer influence on rule-breaking behavior in social contexts.
