ABSTRACT This paper overviews limitations in both the way attitude function has been conceptualized in social psychology, and in the empirical basis for the claims made. We suggest that the premise that attitudes are expressed for cognitive/motivational reasons is an untested artefact of the methodological procedures commonly used. In contrast, an investigation of ‘attitudes’ in the wild (assessments, evaluations, judgements) is offered as an alternative pathway to address questions of function. The analytic core of the paper is the analysis of a collection of interactional examples where an Object-side assessment (e.g. ‘this soup is lovely’) is issued in combination with a Subject-side assessment (e.g. ‘I love this soup’). We investigate what is achieved by combining O-side and S-side assessments: why use an O-side assessment and then an S-side assessment? Or, why use an S-side assessment and then an O-side? We show that (a) O-side and S-side assessments support different actions; (b) the combination manages world and speaker issues in a single package; (c) the combination of O-side and S-side can be hearably complete; (d) O-side first, S-side second can be a resource for building (on) affiliation; (e) S-side first, O-side second can be a platform for continued dispute. Programmatic work on the function of assessments is proposed.

重新思考态度和社会心理学——自然环境中主体和客体评估中的功能、顺序和组合问题

摘要 本文概述了社会心理学中态度函数概念化方式和所提出主张的经验基础的局限性。我们认为，出于认知/动机原因表达态度的前提是常用方法程序的未经测试的人工制品。相比之下，对野外“态度”的调查（评估、评价、判断）被提供作为解决功能问题的替代途径。该论文的分析核心是对一系列交互示例的分析，其中对象方评估（例如“这汤很可爱”）与主题方评估（例如“我喜欢这汤”）相结合。我们调查了通过结合 O 端和 S 端评估实现的目标：为什么先使用 O 侧评估，然后使用 S 侧评估？或者，为什么先使用 S 侧评估，然后使用 O 侧？我们表明 (a) O 端和 S 端评估支持不同的行动；(b) 该组合在一个包中管理世界和扬声器问题；(c) O侧和S侧的结合可以听得见完整；(d) O-side first, S-side second可以是建立（on）从属关系的资源；(e) S-side first, O-side second 可以成为继续争论的平台。提出了关于评估功能的计划工作。S 侧秒可以是建立（上）从属关系的资源；(e) S-side first, O-side second 可以成为继续争论的平台。提出了关于评估功能的计划工作。S 侧秒可以是建立（上）从属关系的资源；(e) S-side first, O-side second 可以成为继续争论的平台。提出了关于评估功能的计划工作。
