According to the textbook Baumeister and Bushman (2011) and Elliot Aronson’s book “The Social Animal” (2004), social cognitive is defined as the method that how human understand each other. This process consists of four components: attribution, biases (systematic errors), heuristics (mental shortcut), and attitudes. According to Baumeister and Bushman (2011) definition of attribution as how we connect the cause of human behaviors. Attribution could be used to determine personal responsibility if their action is intentionally and they are aware of its consequences. The assessments are by using Jones and Davis’ theory of correspondent inference. Based on the theory, if the disposition is no, it could be situational. Examples of external reasoning

We must determine if the majority of the students feel the same about the assignment. We conclude that if the student’s reasoning and the classmate are the same, then the reasoning could be true. Otherwise, their reasoning is personal, and the student is responsible for his bad …show more content…
The process that we go through to connect the event with an individual behavior is called attribution. We unconsciously use attribution to judge whether or not the people are rational. This causes the individual to act in a distinct way. During our discussion, we discovered that majority of the students blame their professor for their bad grades. Base on the models of Kelley, Jones and Davis, and Weiner; the student's response will weigh heavily on how the person critiques himself first. Once they rate themselves, they will then proceed on to who is at fault. With that being said, the student responses may not necessarily be correct due to self-bias. This can show otherwise through Kelley’s theory of consistency and distinctiveness. With that being said, we all do this subconsciously throughout our lives. We explain why we are angry and why we do what we do. This all comes down to how we view and rate one's self-consciously and subconsciously. So, the next time that social cognition (attribution) is at play, reflects without bias. Then, react and respond without a bias
