Answer:
Jim, who is prejudiced against Jewish people, is likely to attribute a Jewish person’s stereotype-inconsistent actions, such as an act of philanthropy, to <u>seasonal causes</u>. In contrast, Jim is likely to attribute a Jewish person’s stereotype-consistent actions, such as self-interested behavior, to <u>dispositional causes.</u>.\
Explanation:
Dispositional attribution: It is based on a person's personality or characteristics. Internal characcteristics (personality traits) cause people to act the way they do
For example: I wrote a bad essay because I decided not to study
Situational Attribution: It is based on a person's situation or environment. External environment (Teacher, President , Police officer) cause the people to act the way they do
For example: I wrote a bad essay because I didn't get the prompt.
Hence, Jim, who is prejudiced against Jewish people, is likely to attribute a Jewish person’s stereotype-inconsistent actions, such as an act of philanthropy, to <u>seasonal causes</u>. In contrast, Jim is likely to attribute a Jewish person’s stereotype-consistent actions, such as self-interested behavior, to <u>dispositional causes.</u>.\
