Solution

The correct statements regarding attribution are:

  1. Research scientists do not make simple linear attribution: This is true. Research scientists often use complex models and theories to explain behavior, rather than simple linear attributions.

  2. Our attributions we make are often influenced by our own psychological needs: This is also true. Our perceptions and interpretations of others' behavior can be influenced by our own needs, biases, and experiences.

  3. Racism is a form of attribution error: This is true. Racism involves making incorrect assumptions or attributions about individuals based on their race.

  4. If we say that Janet gave up the opportunity to work as an artist to take over her family business because she is Korean, it is an attribution error: This is true. This is an example of an attribution error because it assumes that her decision was solely based on her race, rather than considering other factors such as personal choice, family obligations, etc.

  5. Simple linear attributions consume less psychological energy: This is true. Making simple linear attributions requires less cognitive effort than making complex attributions.
