| Sumario: | Attributions of responsibility typically increase as outcome severity increases. In defensiveattributions, similar others are assigned less responsibility in more severe instances. Thecurrent study utilized a child neglect paradigm to explore defensive attributions when theactor may be perceived as both perpetrator and victim. Participants read a newspaper articlein which a parent left a child unattended in a hot car, with details based on participants'random assignment to one of four experimental conditions (outcome severity: mild vssevere; actor gender: male vs female). Results failed to support the defensive attributionhypothesis for attributions of controllability, responsibility, and blame. However, groupdifferences based on actor-observer similarity of gender and parenting status were foundfor empathy, and empathy predicted social punishment. |
