In Study 1, I varied target social class and work ethic to test the relative contribution of class and work ethic on perceptions of students. Lower-class targets were perceived to be greater in warmth, competence, work ethic than higher-class targets. In contrast, hard interdependent targets were perceived as less competent, less hardworking, shyer, and a less desirable partner than expressive independent targets. In Study 2, participants were assigned to a manipulation in which they were taught to reattribute hard interdependence from laziness to work ethic (i.e., attributional retraining), class-unrelated manipulation, or a control condition. Participants were asked to evaluate targets that exhibited differing work ethic styles, including hard interdependence. Participants in the experimental manipulation condition rated hard interdependent targets as more desirable partners than participants in the other two conditions but warmth and competence did not mediate these perceptions as attributional retraining did not increase perceptions of warmth or competence. 2017-08-24 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1503577375171567 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1503577375171567 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
