Question

4. Perception and attribution (Connect, Perform) You and your best friend, Janelle, started a personal chef business together. In the first year, your friend worked even harder than you did, and the business grew quickly. Lately, however, Janelle has been cooking less food and making fewer deliveries than you, even though there's more work than ever If you don't really notice Janelle's lack of effort because you know she's a hard worker, you are engaged in O Selective perception Stereotyping Read the scenario, and then answer the questions. Suppose you, Carlos, Deborah, and Felix are working on a group project for your Introduction to Management class. Carlos, Deborah, and Felix always have their parts of the project ready on the internal due dates agreed on by the team. As always, however, you make up excuses for why your contribution is not done on time. One day, Carlos got fed up and sald, "Why can't you get your work done on time? This happened last semester when we worked on a project together in Accounting class. You always find time to write on your blog and post on Facebook. Why can't you get your act together when it comes to class projects?" Once again, you are late with your part of the group project. Your failure to finish your section on time reflects Your being behind schedule is not surprising, however. Your pattern of being late with contributions to class projects indicates Carlos made the observation that you don't seem to have trouble making timely contributions to your blog or on Facebook. This shows when it comes to writing your part of the group assignment.

Answer 1

1. Selective Prediction: The selective prediction talks abot the tendency of not noticing and more quickly forgeting the stimuli that would contradict our prior beliefs, just what would happen if we hadn't notice the efforts pur by Janelle.

2. low consensus: Consensus talk about how many people are agreeing and performing the same thing. As nobody in the group is late with the submission, the consensus is low.

3. high consistency: Consistency shows the extent to which the person behaves in the same manner. As it is mentioned that it is not a surprise for us to do a late submission, we are having high consistency of the same behaviour.

4. high distinctiveness: Distinctiveness shows how similiar the person behaves in similiar situations. We are posting on facebook and writing blogs but are not completing out project shows high distinctiveness.
