Description
Summary:A partial replication of a study by Nisbett and Bellows (1977) to which a memorization condition was added showed that subjects did not have introspective access to the determinants of their judgments, but did so only in the impression‐formation condition. In the memorization condition, the subjects' self‐reports matched the observed experimental effects. An analysis of the results showed that this was probably because the subjects' judgments in the latter condition were based on causal theories. ©1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
