Making Attributions Think about how you would explain the following actions. In each scenario, an event is described. Use the events below to answer the questions: The Events
A. In event #1, imagine Karla is someone you very much dislike. What are some possible causes for “your enemy Karla” to receive an F on her paper?
B. In event #2, imagine Tim is someone you very much dislike. What are some possible causes for “your enemy Tim” to receive an A on his project?
Part 2: Review your answers Review the answers you wrote for A-B. We did not have much information about the student, the class, the assignment, or how other classmates performed on the assignments.
For Part 2, summarize your biases in judging the events. Then describe how your emotions about the student might have influenced the attributions you made about his / her performance in class.
