Nonverbal behavior, race, and attitude attributions

Article Abstract:

Researches reveal the importance of considering dynamic behavior and race while assessing social interactions. Participants in the study, who viewed videotapes of African-American or White speakers, increased the strength of attitude attributions when speeches were apparently chosen rather than assigned. Subjects using high persuasive nonverbal behavior were judged to have attitudes more consistent with speech than those using low persuasive nonverbal behavior. Attitude attributions were more extreme toward African-American speakers using high persuasive nonverbal behavior.

The effects of direct and indirect experience on affective and cognitive responses and the attitude-behavior relation

Article Abstract:

Direct experiences with an attitude object produce more affectively charged responses, whereas indirect experiences produce more cognitively charged attitudes. Affective attitudes following direct experiences predict consummatory behavior and cognitive attitudes following indirect experiences predict instrumental behavior. Affective responses from direct experience are more related to subsequent attitudes than cognitive responses. Attitudes formed through direct experience in consummatory situations are more accessible than attitudes formed through indirect experiences.

The role of the self in the false consensus effect

Article Abstract:

An experimental study of the consensus for an individual's behavior and attitude reveals bias and overestimation regarding one's own standing. Individuals assume their attitudes to be normative and judge others' performance on the basis of their own performance. These studies imply that case information is not the singular cause for false consensus effect.
