Consensus and Causal Attributions for Negative Affect.

Conway, Michael; And Others

Journal of Social Psychology, v130 n3 p375-84 Jun 1990

Examines negative emotional response in 124 Canadian college students. Using sad stories and music, tests how information about others' responses influences their casual attributions. Shows subjects informed they had reacted more negatively than others made more internal casual attributions. Suggests consensus information does not influence affect intensity. (DB)
