The role of attribution theory and deservingness theory in understanding attitudes towards tall poppies |
Attribution Theory says that we attribute cause based on: -the locus of a cause (internal or external) -the stability of a cause (stable or unstable) -the controllability of a cause (controllable or uncontrollable). Deservingness Theory says: -deserved outcomes are seen to be consistent with action -Undeserved outcomes are seen to be inconsistent with the action -judgements are based on valued behaviour leading to valued outcomes -extends attribution theory, by separating controllability and value. -> global self-esteem inversely related to support and fall of tall poppies: low SE root for fall, high SE root for reward. |
