Gagné and colleagues (2008)asked subjects to rate the extent to which a positive evaluation about themselves from an attractive opposite-sex person reflected that person's true opinion.The researchers also varied whether the positive evaluation was constrained (compelled by the researchers)or unconstrained (not influenced by the researchers).Which kind of attribution did most subjects make for the attractive person's evaluation in the constrained condition?

In the constrained condition, where the positive evaluation was compelled by the researchers, most subjects made dispositional attributions for the attractive person's evaluation.
