“…In the present studies, free-response explanations were coded using the comprehensive F.Ex coding scheme (Malle, 1998/2007), which classifies explanations both in the terms of the folk-conceptual theory of explanation and in the terms of traditional attribution theory. It has been used in previous research projects (Dimdins, Montgomery, & Austers, 2005; Kiesler, Lee, & Kramer, in press; Knight & Rees, in press; Levi & Haslam, 2005; Malle, 1999; Malle et al, 2000; O'Laughlin & Malle, 2002) and has shown good reliability and predictive validity.…”
