Abstract
Subjects received help from a confederate that either was or was not situationally facilitated. Half of the subjects then rated the confederate's prosocial dispositional qualities, while the other half did not. Subsequent ratings of the confed- erate revealed attributional mediation of perceived attractive- ness only for subjects who had been asked attribution questions.Keywords
