Application: Application of Theories
Attribution theory is one of the hallmarks within the field of
social cognition. Theories such as Heider’s
naïve psychology theory,
Jones and Davis’
correspondent inference theory,
and Kelley’s
covariation model
provide seminal contributions to this field. Although these
theories differ in level of complexity and detail, all attempt to
provide a consistent explanation
why
humans behave as they do.
For this Application Assignment, select one of the two vignettes
provided. Then, consider two attribution theories and analyze
the constructs of each theory. Apply the key constructs of the
theories to the vignette, and analyze how the theory may explain
what occurred.
Vignette #1: Molly, 62-year-old Caucasian American Female
Molly exited her doctor’s office and promptly lit a cigarette. In
doing so, she missed her bus and would have to wait an
additional 30 minutes for the next one. She thought about Dr.
Wilson, her primary care physician, who was not too concerned
about her smoking. Then, she thought about Dr. Smith, her
cardiologist, who had clearly stated that she needs to stop
smoking. Waiting for the next bus was no problem for Molly;
she could enjoy a second cigarette.
Vignette #2: James, 35-year-old African American Male
Anticipating the long weekend ahead to be filled with social
opportunities with friends and family, James felt overwhelmed
and left work early on Thursday. While en route, James thought
that perhaps having some quiet time now might make the
weekend more enjoyable. Besides, his stomach was bothering
him and he had a sizable headache. He worried a little about
what his office mates thought of his departure, as this was the
sixth time in the past month he had left early.
The assignment (5–7 pages)
Select one vignette and select two attribution theories.
Choose two theories from the three theories
Heider's naive psychology theory
Jones and Vavis' correspondent inference theory
Kelly's covariation model
Provide a brief analysis of the two theories you selected.
Explain how the key constructs of each theory can be applied to
the vignette.
Explain how each theory might explain what causes the
situation in the vignette.
As you complete your academic comparison, elaborate on the
vignette, including how the person might behave if he or she
was in a different situation or setting.
Provide examples to support your response.
Provide a reference list for all resources used in this
assignment. While you are encouraged to use supplemental
resources in addition to any course resources listed for this
week, be sure to use the weekly learning resources before
utilizing supplemental ones

Application Application of TheoriesAttribution theory is one of t.docx

  • 1. Application: Application of Theories Attribution theory is one of the hallmarks within the field of social cognition. Theories such as Heider’s naïve psychology theory, Jones and Davis’ correspondent inference theory, and Kelley’s covariation model provide seminal contributions to this field. Although these theories differ in level of complexity and detail, all attempt to provide a consistent explanation why humans behave as they do. For this Application Assignment, select one of the two vignettes provided. Then, consider two attribution theories and analyze the constructs of each theory. Apply the key constructs of the theories to the vignette, and analyze how the theory may explain what occurred.

In doing so, she missed her bus and would have to wait an additional 30 minutes for the next one.

Choose two theories from the three theories Heider's naive psychology theory Jones and Vavis' correspondent inference theory Kelly's covariation model Provide a brief analysis of the two theories you selected. Explain how the key constructs of each theory can be applied to the vignette. Explain how each theory might explain what causes the situation in the vignette. As you complete your academic comparison, elaborate on the vignette, including how the person might behave if he or she was in a different situation or setting. Provide examples to support your response. Provide a reference list for all resources used in this assignment.
