Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When people do not have all three types of information necessary according to the covariation model, they use the information they have and make inferences about missing information. This means that they rely on their own reasoning and ideas to make sense of the situation and fill in the gaps. They may also use heuristics or rely on past experiences to make attributions. However, relying only on schemas (option A) or the opinions of others (option B) is not a reliable method for making attributions. Ignoring information and relying only on judgmental heuristics (option D) can also lead to inaccurate attributions.
