关于归因定向与行为预测的实验研究

An Experimental Study of Attributional Orientations and the Prediction of Behavior

不同的归因方式将导致人们对行为的不同预测倾向。本文正是基于这样的假设 ,来考察在信息匮乏的情况下 ,性情归因和情景归因对他人积极行为和消极行为的预测倾向的影响。结果发现 ,两种归因方式都导致被试对积极行为的预测多于对消极行为的预测 ,而情景归因下的被试对积极行为的预测又显著多于性情归因下的被试。在此基础上 ,在引入价值判断的因素后 ,发现不同的归因方式启动了不同的价值判断 ,进而影响到对行为的预测。

Based on the hypothesis that different types of attribu tions would lead to different predictions of behavior,this research was to explo re the effect of the dispositional attribution and situational attribution on pr ediction of behavior. Our study showed that in addition to predicting more posit ive than negative behavior in the target,participants produced an attribution p rediction bias.The bias indicated that persons with a dispositional orientation predicted more negative and less positive behavior from the target than persons with situational orientation.With value assessment involved,different attributio nal types were found to prime different value assessment and to affect the predi ction.
