After learning the PDG, subjects were presented with short sequences of interaction between players A and B. For each one, they judged its information value as to A's intention for the relationship, what intention it indicated, etc. These judgments provided the evidence for testing a series of hypotheses suggested by attribution theory. Support was obtained for the hypothesis that consistent behavior by A yields more information and consensus than does inconsistent behavior. Partial support was found for the hypotheses that (1) consistent disagreement with B yields greater information than consistent agreement, and (2) inconsistency that constitutes an “initiative” or shift away from B yields greater information than inconsistency that constitutes an “imitative” shift toward B. Both were found to be true when A's final action in the sequence was competitive but not when it was cooperative. No support was found for the hypothesis that competitive behavior, being regarded as less socially desirable and more uncommon, will yield more information than cooperative behavior.Further results are reported on judgments of “acting on principle” and inferences as to A's expectations about B's later moves. Evidence on individual differences in attribution is consistent with the proposition that attributions are made according to the person's experience with internal and external causes of his own behavior.
