Trait Attributions Evaluation, Description and Attitude...

We live in a world where people make judgements about others quickly. One can base it on what they hear, a particular action that the person has done or even just who they are. Because of this a lot of stereotyping is seen and unfair judgements are made about a person. People assign traits to people based on first impressions and lack of knowledge about the person. Another thing that happens a lot in our time is political violence. People tend to ask themselves if political violence is really the solution to our problems. Should political violence be accepted? Through the use of political framing the researchers want to see if people will consider forms of political violence as acceptable or not. Some may be accepted while others won’t.†¦show more content†¦It was also shown there is an effect of attitudinal extremity when using descriptive and evaluative aspect during attribution of traits (van der Pligt and Taylor, 1984). In this study, participants used attributional inference to attribute traits. Given a story, participants were tasked to describe the character in their story using the extreme attitudes. There were two stories, one for each group. Each story had a different character that shows the attitudinal extremities. The two different characters was how political framing was manipulated in the study. Effect of IV on DV: Political Framing on Trait Attributes In a study done by Montiel and Shah the effects of political framing and the perceiver’s social position on trait attributions of a terrorist or freedom fighter was tested (Montiel Shah, 2008). By using a short description or story of either a terrorist or freedom fighter bombing a building, they were able to see if the framing had an effect on the attribution of traits they gave to the characters. In this study however, another independent variable that comes into play is the social position of the perceiver – the person who attributes the traits. Montiel and Shah thought that if a person was of different social position, Malay Christians or Filipino Muslims, then that would also play a part on the attribution of traits.
