Question 8

Question
Kelley furthered his work on the covariation model with the configuration model (1972), citing that there need to be multiple [blank_start]sufficient[blank_end] and [blank_start]necessary[blank_end] causes when we attribute causality to behaviour in a situation.

  • An uncharacteristic overemphasis on external factors

Question 15

Question
Internal/external distinction refers to whether or not a situation was in an individual's control. However, there are some questioning whether or not it is really relevant. They argue that:
Image:
137c7eaa-883d-417f-8df4-408b44e3d3e3 (image/jpeg)
Answer
  • It's more about the responsibility of that person or situation, rather than the victim of it. The intention is more important
  • It's more about the self-victimisation aspect of the situation, than who is responsible for its causation
  • They did not argue any of it

Question 16

Question
An example of the validity of internal/external attribution is when someone turns up late. Would one care about where to locate the causation, or whether it was intentional of them to be late in the first place?
Image:
946dc407-f5fd-42e4-a0a1-aaf4bd125b9a (image/jpeg)

Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 22

Question
Are the findings from attribution research culturally-specific or widely generalisable? For example, would attribution bias or self-serving bias be the same in India as it would be in the United Kingdom?
Answer
  • Yes, the findings are widely generalisable
  • No, the findings are culturally-specific

Question 23

Question
Ichheiser (1943) argued that:
Answer
  • Attributions are fresh and private mental cognitions that are unique to individuals in their minds
  • Attributions are actually ideological - in other words, ready-made and culturally-available - assumptions that circulate around society ("ideologies") that become presuppositions

Question 24

Question
Has there been criticism levelled at attribution research to suggest that it has been overemphasising the roles of underlying cognition and not delving into actionable causes?
Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 25

Question
Potter (1966) argued that attribution research can move away from cognition and look into actionable circumstances (eg, agreeing, disputing, exonerating, and blaming). What is this called?
Answer
  • Explanatory talk
  • Discursive talk
  • Attributional talk

Question 26

Question
With explanatory talk, we can:
Answer

Question 27

Question

Answer
  • What talk does
  • What talk says
  • What talk can do

Question 28

Question
By using action orientation, we can:
Answer

  • Observe how we form these things in talk
  • Observe how we can late stop ourselves from doing certain things

Question 29

Question

  • No

Question 30

Question

  • No

Question 31

Question
Verbs are:
Answer
  • Doing certain types of work (eg, exonerate, blame, diffuse) in talk

Question 32

Question
Dickerson (2012) argues that we need context to avoid wrongful attributions. Can we question the utility (or usefulness) of decontextualised, 'stripped-down' stimulus sentences?
Answer
  • Yes, because they lack the context inherent in real talk
  • No, because we have enough already to make presuppositions

Question 33

Question
Weiner (et al., 1987) analysed various types of account-giving literature. Which was the most successful?
Answer
  • External, uncontrollable, and uninentional accounts
  • Internal, controllable, and intentional accounts

Question 34

Question
Can external, uncontrollable, and unintentional accounts (Weiner, et al., 1987) still fail?
Answer
  • Yes, because not all are realistic (eg, "I'm being chased by aliens with ray guns")
  • No, because all of them can be believed by anyone

Question 35

Question
Discursive approaches focus on:
Answer
  • Real-world, contextualised accounts of explanatory talk
  • Fictional, hypothetical accounts of explanatory talk

Question 36

Question
Cognitivist research understands attribution to be a language that unproblematically represents - or is a clear window to - an underlying cognitive reality (eg, hidden motives). What is this understood as?
Answer
  • Discursive psychology
  • Cognitivist psychology
  • Attributional psychology
  • Conversational psychology

Question 37

Question
Discursive approaches to psychology are:
Answer
  • Constructionist
  • Perceptual
  • Cognitive
  • Biological

Question 38

Question
With discursive psychology and conversational analysis, psychology can:
Answer
  • Observe the versions of the world that people construct, and what these do or achieve
  • Observe the versions of ourselves that we construct, and how this affects our mental cognitions
  • Observe how society constructs our realities, and what they can achieve

Question 39

Question
Can descriptions help to execute blame or diffuse presuppositions? For example, a cross-examiner in a courtroom with a rape victim who is trying to attribute blame through his descriptive language (eg, "You were talking an awful lot to him").
Answer
  • Yes because, although the language is descriptive, the implications are heavily accusatory
  • No, because there is little to suggest that anyone is being accusatory

Question 40

Question
In political talk, there are politicians that use a term that appeals to commonplace stances but remains vague in its meaning. What is it called?
Answer

  • National commonplace
  • National stance

  • Utterance analysis
  • Sequential analysis

Question 42

Question
________ ________ is less concerned with developing a critique of the cognitivist approach of social psychology, and psychology in general.

Question 43

Question
________ ________ maes use of methods (eg, conversation alaysis) and other methods such as rhetorical analysis to further its own critical agenda.
Answer
  • Conversation analysis
  • Discursive analysis

Question 44

Question
Antaki (1994) argued that there are places in interactions - either self-developed or done by others - where one has to justify or explain an interaction. What are these called?
Answer
  • Explanation slots
  • Discursive slots
  • Conversational slots

Question 45

Question
Do slots according to Antaki (1994) need to be observable by everyone?
Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 46

Question
Can these slots explained by Antaki (1994) be developed by the speaker themselves as well as those that they are conversing with?
Answer
  • Yes
  • No

Question 47

Question
According to Antaki (1994), these slots are:
Answer
  • Random, and can appear at any time
  • Sequentially relevant, and interactionally occasioned

Question 48

Question
________ ________ uses explanation slots that can be engineered by one speaker for another, or by one speaker for themselves. The talk is interactionally-occasioned and sequentially-relevant. Problematic (or "dispreferred") actions have a distinct conversational design compared to socially-preferred actions (eg, accepting an invitation). There are also normative features of account-giving, which have interactional and social advantages (eg, preventing a "spiral of accounting").
Answer
  • Conversation analysis
  • Discourse psychology

Question 49

Question
________ ________ involves commonplace phrases that can be flexibly deployed in explanatory talk to achieve various interactional outcomes (eg, exoneration, blame). Descriptions are never neutral, and there is almost always evidence from real talk that they construct events or the world in certain ways to achieve goals or outcomes (eg, implying a negative tone with descriptive language).
Answer
  • Discursive psychology
  • Conversation analysis

Question 50

Question
In this realm, there are risks that the slots Antaki (1994) talks about have a mechanistic view that is not entirely realistic. Additionally, explanations may not be fine-grained enough to describe real-world interactions, and need to be more descriptive. Are these from within the discursive paradigm or outside of it?
Answer
  • Within the discursive paradigm
  • Outside of the discursive paradigm

Question 51

Question
In this realm, critics argue that if we focus on only interactional concerns in real-world talk, then we could be ignoring the ideological issues that exist as well (eg, governmental hierarchies, socioeconomic differences, victim-blaming cultures). Is this in or outside the discursive paradigm realm? Furthermore, they also argue that we could be abandoning the cognitive aspect entirely, and therefore, being overly-narrow when it is unnecessary.
Answer
  • Inside of it
  • Outside of it

Question 52

Question
Exonerating explanations are:
Answer
  • Explanations of accounts for why we, or others, might not approve of

Answer
