Social Psychology
Attributions
Attribution
-
For example, Joe and his brother are having a fight. Joe, however, attributes his brother being mad at him to his girlfriend breaking up with him.

Self-serving bias
We take credit for our successes, but blame others for our failures.
For example, if I study for a test and I do really well, I'll say that it was easy. But if I do study for a test and I don't do well, I'll blame the test and the teacher.
Attitudes
Attitude
Three components
- Affective element (feelings)
For example, I love sports.
- Behavioral element (actions)
For example, whenever I watch sports, I get really excited and I really get into the game.
- Cognitive element (thoughts and beliefs).
For example, I think that sports are awesome.
Cognitive dissonance
-
For example, when I'm watching tv, I know that I should stop and be studying for a test.
-
Groups
Deindividualization
-
For example, if I was in a group with my friends and they started beating a person up and told me to do it, I would start doing it because the group members are doing it and I started losing self-conscious.

For example, every time I watch a TV show, I will eventually like the TV show more and more and then I'll continue watching it.
