    The Hitchcock Symptom:Duster Flight Patterns around "Production Values." A response to Griffiths James Berger (bio) A bon mot of my three-and-a-half-year-old daughter: She was watching a video of The Nutcracker ballet, of which she's a great fan, and she said, "There's Drosselmeyer!"—that is, the mysterious, wizard-like friend of the family who brings the nutcracker doll and the other toys to life and who, in most productions (and in the E.T.A.

    This study applied concepts derived from previous research on causal attribution to a real-world event, Super Bowl XXII. 65 undergraduates responded to a four-item survey, which included questions on amount of the game seen, favorite team, why the victor won, and why the loser lost. The responses were then coded for attributional locus of causality and stability. Analysis of variance indicated that success was attributed to significantly more sta…
