归因是由关于产生结果的因果机制的信息形成的。两项研究考察了机制信息对地震损害归因和损害可以预防的判断的影响。基于地震实际报告的情景比较了2个关于受损建筑物的建筑设计的信息。准确的基于比率的信息表明，设计良好的建筑物具有弹性，而宿命论的，基于实例的信息表明，设计良好的建筑物受到了破坏。在研究2中，为了改变消息来源的可信度，消息来源是工程师或记者。与基于实例的消息相比，无论消息来源如何，参与者对基于速率的消息的宿命论推断和归因较少。这些发现表明，基于频率的信息可能会减少对地震和其他风险的宿命论。
Attributions are shaped by information about the causal mechanisms that produce outcomes. Two studies examined the effect of mechanism information on attributions for earthquake damage and judgments that the damage could be prevented. Scenarios based on actual reports of earthquakes compared 2 messages about the building design of damaged buildings. Accurate rate-based messages stated that well-designed buildings were resilient, whereas fatalistic, instance-based messages stated that well-designed buildings were damaged. In Study 2, to vary source credibility, the message source was either an engineer or a reporter. Participants made less fatalistic inferences and attributions with rate-based messages than with instance-based messages, regardless of the source. These findings show that rate-based messages are likely to reduce fatalism about earthquakes and other risks.
