Ben R. Slugoski
My research focuses on the following three areas:
(1) Social cognition, especially attribution theory: The abnormal conditions focus model; discourse processes in social judgment; explanation and conversation; implicit verb causality
(2) Conversational pragmatics: Politeness theory; psychological status and applications of discourse pragmatics
(3) Self and social identity: Social constructionist critique of ego identity statuses; development and validation of a measure of group-based guilt and responsibility; the 'authenticity' heuristic
Primary Interests:
- Causal Attribution
