Introduction
It is common practice for psychologists and laypersons alike to explain
human behavior by reference to stable underlying dispositions (cf. Campbell,
1963; Heider, 1958). When people are caught lying or cheating they are considered
dishonest; when they perform poorly they are said to lack ability or motivation;
when they help a person in need they are called altruistic or compassionate;
and when they discriminate against members of a minority group they are
termed prejudiced. In the domain of personality psychology the trait concept has
carried the burden of dispositional explanation. A multitude of personality traits
has been identified and new trait dimensions continue to join the growing list. In
a similar fashion the concept of attitude has been the focus of attention in
explanations of human behavior offered by social psychologists. Numerous attitudes
have been assessed over the years and, as new social issues emerge,
additional attitudinal domains are explored.
