Study 1: Attributions of Responsibility for Ambiguous Negative Events
Have you ever wondered how you attribute responsibility to others? How do you decide to blame certain people for certain negative events? What are your criteria for deeming someone more responsible than others in different situations? And why do you have those criteria?
If you are interested in such psychological mechanisms and cognitions then why not complete our online survey?
It's available at
http://www.deakin.edu.au/psychology/research/anders/ We're investigating how Australians decide to assign responsibility to persons in various situations, and we would greatly appreciate your help. It will only take ten minutes of your time!
This research is being conducted by Anders Sonderlund of the School of Psychology at Deakin University Waterfront Campus, as part of his Honours degree in Psychology. You can contact Anders at

How would YOU allocate funding to competitors from different countries? Why not complete our online survey looking at this issue?
