Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: One of the most frequently replicated findings of research concerning political orientation is that conservatives tend to make dispositional attributions for social problems (emphasizing personality-based explanations and blaming individuals), whereas liberals make situational attributions (emphasizing social and environmental factors). These results are consistent with explanations suggesting that political orientations are rooted in stable individual differences in the cognitive styles of conservatives and liberals. However, these results might also be consistent with an alternative explanation. Specifically, attributions might be the result of motivated cognition, and conservatives’ and liberals’ attributions might vary across contexts when motivational priorities shift. Results of two studies supported the motivated cognition hypothesis. Specifically, when salient values provided appropriate motivation, conservatives were more likely than liberals to make situational attributions for a targets’ behavior.
