The Attribution Theory: the tendency to make sense of other people's behavior. We like to see if behavior is a result of the situation the person is in or their individual traits
-Antecedent: information about person/situation prior to circumstance
-Attribution: what we believe caused the behavior
-Personal (disposition): blaming the person's character
-Situational: blaming the circumstance or external factors

Just World Phenomenon: assumption that bad things happen to bad people and vice versa

Fundamental Attribution Error: overemphasize personal attributions for others and underestimate them for ourselves
(you were late to work because of train whereas same situation with other person may cause one to think that they were lazy instead of it being the train's fault)
Self Serving Bias: attribute successes to ourselves and failures to situations 

Attitude: stable organization of beliefs, feelings, and tendencies toward someone or something

ABCs of Attitudes
-Affect: feeling of love, hate, dislike etc.
-Behavior: approach, avoid
-Cognition: beliefs (facts, opinions, etc.)

Prejudice: intolerant, unfavorable, and rigid attitude toward a group of people
-can be artificially induced

Discrimination: actions that deny opportunities and social esteem to an entire group of people or individual members of that group

Ingroup Bias: tendency to favor one's group over others

Self Fulfilling Prophecy: one's unconscious expectations about someone else eventually lead the other person to behave in ways that confirm these expectations

Conformity: changing behavior to match that of the group

Cognitive Dissonance: attitudes and behaviors inconsistent; we're motivated to decrease this tension

Obedience: compliance with an explicit demand to change behavior from an authority figure

Compliance: how we respond to a request
-low ball technique
-foot in the door technique: tendency for people to comply with a small request and later be more likely to comply with a larger request
-door in the face technique
-norm of reciprocity

Low-ball Procedures: similar to framing EX: when prices appear lower but actually is relatively the same amount raises sales/ amount of compliance

Foot in the door: the tendency for people to comply with a small request and later be more likely to comply with a  larger request

Door in the face: a reasonably large request refused will increase the likelihood of a smaller related request being accepted

Reciprocity Norms: the expectation that people will respond to each other if I give you something or help you in any way, you are obligated to do the same for me

Persuasion: deliberate attempts to change the attitudes of others
    -Central Route to Persuasion: influenced by arguments/ contents of the message
