   2. BWhat causes specific ideologies
   3. CWhat causes society to develop a collective identity
2. 2According to the attribution theory, when real world events occur what are we, as individuals, likely to do first?

   

   1. AFind out what caused it
   2. BFind out how it happened to begin with
   3. CFind out if society was to blame
3. 3Does research suggest that we are always rational in our decisions?

   1. AYes
   2. BNo
4. 4The general aggression model (Anderson & Bushman, 2002), suggests that our ________ affects how we decide to act in potentially aggressive situations.

   

   1. AArousal levels
   2. BPrevious experiences
   3. CMood
5. 5The rational choice theory states that we are always rational. Is this statement true or false?

6. 6Which way does the situation have to balance for us to act prosocially in situations that require it, according to Darley and Latané (1968)?

   1. APros outweigh cons
   2. BCons outweigh pros
   3. CNeither, they can be balanced
   4. DThey did not investigate this
7. 7Kelley's (1967) covariation model relies on three components. They are:

   

   1. AConsensus, distinctiveness, and consistency
   2. BConsensus, disparity, and consistency
   3. CCovariation, distinctiveness, and consensus
   4. DNone of the above
8. 8Kelley 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.

   

   1. Asufficient
   2. Bnecessary
9. 9Internal attribution refers to when causality is:

   1. AWithin the person themselves
   2. BWithin the event itself
   3. CWithin society itself
10. 10External attribution refers to when causality is:

    1. AOutside of the person themselves
    2. BOutside of the event itself
    3. COutside of social circumstances

11. 11Where we attribute cause has ________ impact on how we respond to it. For example, if you had heard about a murder, how would you feel?

    1. AA major
    2. BVery little
12. 12One major criticism of Kelley's (1967) covariation model is that it is:

    1. AOverly scientific and analytical, not representative of casual thinking
    2. BUnable to casually explain the role of society

    1. AAn uncharacteristic overemphasis on internal factors
    2. BAn uncharacteristic overemphasis on external factors
15. 15Internal/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:

    

    1. AIt's more about the responsibility of that person or situation, rather than the victim of it. The intention is more important
    2. BIt's more about the self-victimisation aspect of the situation, than who is responsible for its causation
    3. CThey did not argue any of it
16. 16An 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?

    

    1. ATheir intentions, and if they meant to be late
    2. BWhere causation is localised
17. 17An issue with internal/external attribution is how they are:

    1. AHighly unrealistic
    2. BIncredibly outdated
18. 18Is internal-external attribution representative of everyday thinking?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
19. 19Does internal-external attribution have significant ecological validity?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
20. 20Are the experiments that seek to support attribution research realistic or unusual?

    1. AVery realistic
    2. BHighly unusual
21. 21Do findings from studies show experiment-specific effects (eg, Actor-Observer differences) where levels are changed if participants receive empathetic instructions (Regan & Totten, 1975)?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
22. 22Are 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?

    1. AYes, the findings are widely generalisable
    2. BNo, the findings are culturally-specific
23. 23Ichheiser (1943) argued that:

    1. AAttributions are fresh and private mental cognitions that are unique to individuals in their minds
    2. BAttributions are actually ideological - in other words, ready-made and culturally-available - assumptions that circulate around society ("ideologies") that become presuppositions
24. 24Has 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?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
25. 25Potter (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?

    1. AExplanatory talk
    2. BDiscursive talk
    3. CAttributional talk
26. 26With explanatory talk, we can:

    1. AUnderstand how people communicate and use attributions in social interactions
    2. BUnderstand how people communicate and attribute causes to either themselves or others
    3. CUnderstand how people communicate and form ideological ideas that circulate around society
27. 27Action orientation refers to:

    1. AWhat talk does
    2. BWhat talk says
    3. CWhat talk can do
28. 28By using action orientation, we can:

    1. AObserve how people do things in talk (eg, exonerate, blame)
    2. BObserve how we form these things in talk
    3. CObserve how we can late stop ourselves from doing certain things
29. 29Is the discursive approach relevant to real-world situations?

31. 31Verbs are:

    1. ADoing certain types of work (eg, exonerate, blame, diffuse) in talk
    2. BAction words
32. 32Dickerson (2012) argues that we need context to avoid wrongful attributions. Can we question the utility (or usefulness) of decontextualised, 'stripped-down' stimulus sentences?

    1. AYes, because they lack the context inherent in real talk
    2. BNo, because we have enough already to make presuppositions
33. 33Weiner (et al., 1987) analysed various types of account-giving literature. Which was the most successful?

    1. AExternal, uncontrollable, and uninentional accounts
    2. BInternal, controllable, and intentional accounts
34. 34Can external, uncontrollable, and unintentional accounts (Weiner, et al., 1987) still fail?

    1. AYes, because not all are realistic (eg, "I'm being chased by aliens with ray guns")
    2. BNo, because all of them can be believed by anyone
35. 35Discursive approaches focus on:

    1. AReal-world, contextualised accounts of explanatory talk
    2. BFictional, hypothetical accounts of explanatory talk
36. 36Cognitivist 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?

    1. ADiscursive psychology
    2. BCognitivist psychology
    3. CAttributional psychology
    4. DConversational psychology
37. 37Discursive approaches to psychology are:

    1. AConstructionist
    2. BPerceptual
    3. CCognitive
    4. DBiological
38. 38With discursive psychology and conversational analysis, psychology can:

    1. AObserve the versions of the world that people construct, and what these do or achieve
    2. BObserve the versions of ourselves that we construct, and how this affects our mental cognitions
    3. CObserve how society constructs our realities, and what they can achieve
39. 39Can 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").

    1. AYes because, although the language is descriptive, the implications are heavily accusatory
    2. BNo, because there is little to suggest that anyone is being accusatory
40. 40In political talk, there are politicians that use a term that appeals to commonplace stances but remains vague in its meaning. What is it called?

    1. ANational interest
    2. BNational commonplace

    2. BUtterance analysis
    3. CSequential analysis
42. 42________ ________ is less concerned with developing a critique of the cognitivist approach of social psychology, and psychology in general.

    1. AConversation analysis
    2. BDiscursive analysis
43. 43________ ________ maes use of methods (eg, conversation alaysis) and other methods such as rhetorical analysis to further its own critical agenda.

    1. AConversation analysis
    2. BDiscursive analysis
44. 44Antaki (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?

    1. AExplanation slots
    2. BDiscursive slots
    3. CConversational slots
45. 45Do slots according to Antaki (1994) need to be observable by everyone?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
46. 46Can these slots explained by Antaki (1994) be developed by the speaker themselves as well as those that they are conversing with?

    1. AYes
    2. BNo
47. 47According to Antaki (1994), these slots are:

    1. ARandom, and can appear at any time
    2. BSequentially relevant, and interactionally occasioned
48. 48________ ________ 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").

    1. AConversation analysis
    2. BDiscourse psychology
49. 49________ ________ 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).

    1. ADiscursive psychology
    2. BConversation analysis
50. 50In 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?

    1. AWithin the discursive paradigm
    2. BOutside of the discursive paradigm
51. 51In 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.

    1. AInside of it
    2. BOutside of it
52. 52Exonerating explanations are:

    1. AExplanations of accounts for why we, or others, might not approve of
    2. BExplanations of accounts for why we, or others may approve of

    2. BCorrespond preferences with the feature of a person
54. 54Hedonic relevance refers to:

    1. AThe positive or negative impact that a behaviour to be explained has on a person deciding where attribution must go
    2. BThe positive or negative impact that a behaviour to be disputed or exonerated has on a person deciding on possible attribution
55. 55For Jones and Davis (1965), personalism refers to:

    1. AOur likelihood in understanding a complaint directed at us as correspondent to a disposition in the person
    2. BOur likelihood in understanding a complaint directed at others to be relevant to society
56. 56________ ________ ________ refers to the ways in which many causes are anticipated to be needed to explain an unusual or difficult to achieve phenomenon.

    1. AMultiple necessary causes
    2. BMultiple sufficient causes
57. 57________ ________ ________ refers to the ways in which any one number of possible causes are anticipated as being adequate or sufficient to explain a regular or easy to achieve phenomenon.

    1. AMultiple necessary causes
    2. BMultiple sufficient causes
58. 58Jacobson, McDonald, Follette and Berley (1985) noted that where negative behaviour by one's partner was:

    1. AAttributed to the partner and relationship distress compared to positives
    2. BAttributed to themselves and their own faults compared to the positives
59. 59Research (Fincham, Beach & Nelson, 1987; Fincham, Beach & Baucom, 1987; Fincham & O'Leary, 1983) has highlighted that distressed couples who are in marital therapy attributed hypothetical causes as:

    1. ANegative and global
    2. BPositive and global

62. 62Fundamental attribution error is largely about:

    1. AThe over and underestimation of situational factors in attribution
