A test of the joint model of causal attribution

摘要: The joint model integrates Mill’s methods of difference and agreement for making causal attributions, introduces a novel type context attributions which reflect the opposite categories standard attribution responses provided in previous covariation research (external versus person, general stimulus, stable occasion). predicts that to causes require method agreement. Two empirical studies demonstrated fitted adequately with all subject’s responses, contrast earlier theorizing data involving only (cf. Cheng & Novick, 1990) or Hilton, Smith Kim, 1995) received less support.
