What to Focus On

  • Social psychology studies behaviour in relation to others.
  • Social perception means understanding other persons through observation and inference.
  • Social perception changes with the behaviour and reactions of the person perceived.
  • Attribution means finding the causes of behaviour.
  • Kelley used consistency, consensus, and distinctiveness to judge causes.
  • Internal causes come from the person; external causes come from the situation.
  • Biases in attribution are errors in explanation.
  • Person positivity bias is about liking individuals more than the group.
  • False consensus bias is overestimating agreement with one’s own views.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
