Dispositional - The “rolling rock” metaphor - Social perception (personology)- the way we come to understand actions and other outcomes associated with ourselves and others. Often our social perception is incorrect. Use social perception to figure out meanings of things- most efficient. Related to light thinking. Influences the way we process information. - Cognitive vs Affective Processes These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.- Light thinking- Not deeply processed. Not as important, does not have much of an effect on you. Dispositional factors about that person- more salient because we are the observer. Information is more accessible. - Memory mistakes - Actor/Observer effect: Actor-good things happen because of you. Bad things that happen are not your fault. - Bias: Cognitive and Motivational Cognitive bias- idea or expectation of how we think something will happen. Motivational Bias- what we want to happen.- Recall Effects: Recall-bring back knowledge. Selective Memory: remember some things but not others. Not 100% accurate. Reconstruction of the past: Did not actually exist. - Self-Fulfilling Prophecies- used the classroom example, late “bloomers” - Two-factor theory- Level of Perceived Arousal- how emotional you think you are. (bridge example). Cognitive Labeling of that Arousal- how you tribute your arousal - Early theories of emotion: James-Lange- make adjustments unique to certain stimulus. Cannon-Bard- generalize- Schachter and Singer study - Excitation transfer - Theory of passionate love - Correlational Vs. Experimental studies - Pearson’s r- pertains to correlation between things. + or – determines direction. The closer to 1 the coefficient is, the stronger the relationship. Number for strength, sign for direction.- Causal Inference- If 2 things are correlated, they are related. You can infer potential causality, but you cannot say that A caused B. - Confounding variables- cannot conduct a study without them. They mess with the results of a
