Verbal Accounts and Attributions of Social Motives.

Tedeschi, James T.; And Others

Journal of Research in Personality, v17 n2 p218-25 Jun 1983

Studied effects of verbal accounts offered by a threatener on targets' (N=82) subsequent attributions of the threatener's social motives. Results showed a cooperative account led to an inference of cooperative disposition, a transrelational equity account led to attribution of deceit, and an excuse of ignorance was linked with apathy.
