Two experiments indicate that when changes are perceived in another's behavior, causal attributions for the change significantly affect evaluations of the person and his behavior. Subjects listen to recordings of a three-man group discussing two problems and rate the group members after each discussion. The two discussions are staged so that one group member talks much more in the second discussion than in the first, while another's verbal output decreases markedly. Experimental subjects are told that during the second discussion "reinforcement lights" were employed to encourage one man to talk more while the other two men were discouraged. Control subjects are told that the group did not receive "reinforcement." In both studies, experimental subjects perceive less change in quality relative to perceived changes in amount of talking.
