- Upbringing> Cognition> Social Cognition, Scully and Marolla
- Conclusion- the use of external attributions supported the deniers denial and minimalised responsibility of the admitters.
- This allows the deniers to see themselves as non-****** and the admitters as ex-******.
- This is why it is difficult to rehabilitate ****** because the denial and minimalisation lets them believe that they haven't got a problem.
- Results
- Victim had an unsavoury sexual reputation. 69% of the deniers and 22% of the admitters.
- Alcohol intoxication. 84% of deniers and 77% of admitters.
- External atributions were used more commonly by deniers.
- Method- Self-report survey was carried out to reveal what if any attributions were used to explain their offence.
- Sample- 114 volunteer m incarcerated ****** (41% admitters and 59% deniers).
- Aim- To analyse the excuses and justifications used by convicted ****** to explain their crime.
- Social cognition> Attributional biases> Self-serving bias> bad actions=external attribution
- Conclusion- the use of external attributions supported the deniers denial and minimalised responsibility of the admitters.
