Today we're looking at the question kelly's attribution theory says that people use which of the following kinds of information and explaining events.
00:07
So i'm just going to write this out as three parts of kelly.
00:18
Actually, three parts of information info for, sorry about that, for kelly.
00:39
Okay, so let's just start by describing a little bit about kelly's.
00:44
Sorry, kelly's attribution theory.
00:46
Rather, we're looking at specifically the covariate model where the attribution theory basically states that how are we attributing people's behaviors? basically, how are we answering why does somebody do what they do? and the assumption is that we've been able to look at this person, do this specific behavior multiple times, and through that observation, we can get a little bit about the answer.
01:12
And so the way we look at, the way we explain why a person does what they do, that's a weird sentence, we look at a couple different elements.
01:22
Basically, how often does this person do this in response to something specific? how often do they just do this generally? and how often do other people do this in similar situations? so knowing that it's going to help to go into the.
01:44
Answers.
01:45
Okay, so let's start with a.
01:47
I'm just going to save time.
01:49
I'm going to do just the first letter of each.
01:52
So conformity, reliability, and validity.
01:57
These aren't really going to apply here.
01:58
Also, something that would help for this is making sure that all three of the options they give you fit.
02:03
Because right away conformity, oh, i know part of kelly's attribution theory is that are the people doing the same thing in similar situations? that sounds kind of like conformity.
02:13
A little bit.
02:14
But conformity is closer to going along with everyone else is doing, and it's framed a little bit differently.
02:21
But beyond that, reliability and validity, those describe testing conditions, basically for seeing how well designed a test or a study is.
02:31
So that's not really going to fit into here.
02:33
That doesn't really describe how we explain why someone does what they do.
02:38
God, i can't get over that.
02:41
So now let's look at b.
02:43
Consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness.
02:50
This is going to be a little bit closer to the explanations behind kelly's model.
02:56
Where, sorry, god, i should have labeled which one was which.
03:00
Okay, so consensus, which is the first c, is going to be, are other people doing what they're doing in a similar situation? you know, like, yeah, so if like, if somebody's tire pops are, are they getting out to do it? are they getting out to replace the tire? okay, i know other people do that.
03:24
So, consensus.
03:27
Distinctiveness, which is going to be the d, where someone always does something in response to a specific stimuli or situation, where it's going to be like the doorbell rings.
03:40
So my little sister always runs to get it.
03:42
Okay? that's distinctiveness...
