“…One strategy is to reduce the discrepancy between their actual and desired knowledge states (i.e., adopt an accuracy goal ), prompting a more extensive search for and processing of social information. For example, causally uncertain people persist longer during social information processing tasks (Jacobson, Weary, & Lin, ), rely less on heuristic processing when making social judgments (Weary, Jacobson, Edwards, & Tobin, ), and are more likely to scrutinize causal arguments (Tobin & Weary, ) and to incorporate important situational information into dispositional attributions (Weary, Vaughn, Stewart, & Edwards, ). However, as previously mentioned, these studies have involved only hypothetical situations, and thus, it is unclear how such CU processes apply in real‐time social interactions.…”
