This study tested whether national representative samples of asians, blacks, hispanics, and whites in the united states varied in their endorsements of dispositionist, situationist, and interactionist lay philosophies of behaviour. Results were generally inconsistent with a lay philosophy of behaviour account for ethnic differences in attribution tendencies. Specifically, asians, blacks and hispanics more strongly endorsed a dispositionist lay philosophy of behaviour than did whites. The only other ethnic group difference the authors found was that blacks endorsed a situationist lay philosophy of behaviour more strongly than did whites. Endorsements of an interactionist lay philosophy did not differ across ethnic groups. Results show revealed that age, income and education had more consistent and sometiems larger effects than ethnic category on endorsement of different lay philosophies of behaviour. Implications are discussed.
