Fault_To_A_Rate_Victim_study

Fault To A Rate Victim:study Attribution biases are the general rules of attributing cause to behavior. We studied multiple facets of this bizarre social phenomenon and I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across the “belief in a just world” fallacy proposed in an earlier lecture. You taught us that when we hold the belief that we do in fact live in a just world that we tend to believe that people get what they deserve, and will make causal attributions of others based on the consequences produced by their behavior and their character credibility. We also learned how to discern personal attribution from situational behavior, and what this article illustrates is the experiment was founded on the notion that people would attribute more causality to the victim of a rape if she were viewed as a more respectable person in the effort to compensate with the “un-justness” of the incident. This intrinsic dilemma frustrates me and I will rant in a few paragraphs. The study was conducted by Cathaleene Jones and Elliot Aronson. Their hypothesis was a socially respectable person is seen as more at fault in a crime in which he was the victim.
