The Effect of Implicit Theories of Judgment on Attitudes and Evaluative Outcomes

Evans, Clifford Daniel

Abstract Details

2008, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Psychology.
Extensive research has demonstrated outcome differences between judgments based on feelings and judgments based on reasons. Dispositional preference for feelings- or reasons-based judgment may guide the use of implicit and explicit attitude information in evaluation and judgment when contextual cues are not available. Two studies examined the effect of implicit theories of judgment on the use of implicit and explicit attitudes to make judgments of a target. In Study 1, implicit attitudes were influenced by explicit evaluative information for feelings-based theorists, but not reasons-based theorists. Implicit attitudes correlated with explicit attitudes and judgment for feelings-based theorists, but not for reasons-based theorists. Study 2 replicated this correlational pattern especially when situational theories of judgment were congruent with dispositional theories of judgment.
