This study investigated whether behavioral decisions (e. g., persistence, help seeking) are influenced by covariation information and if this influence is mediated by attributions. In Experiment 1, participants belonging to different age groups received covariation information, and causal attributions as well as behavioural - reaction decisions were assessed. Experiment 1 replicated the often - documented influence of covariation information on attributions. Furthermore, it revealed that covariation information affects behavioural decisions more strongly, and developmentally earlier, than do attributions. In Experiment 2, participants were provided with conflicting covariation information and attributions. Covariation information had a stronger impact on reaction decisions than attributions. Experiment 3 again provided participants with covariation information and assessed attributions and behavioural choices, as well as reaction times. Participants provided with covariation information needed less time to choose behavioural reactions than to choose attributions. We conclude that behavioural decisions can be directly determined by covariation information without attributional mediation.
