| Abstract |
For the purpose of this communication it is postulated that violation of expectation means a disturbing event or conflict interfering with a previously established mental state that affords a firm belief or confident feeling. According to this hypothesis a violation of an expectation contradicts predictions and intentions that have been attained on stored experiences, valuations, and actual mood. We will argue that the notion of belief as static or stable which is usually described by expressions such as "my belief" or "our general belief" has to be extended to accommodate the process of belief formation. The credition model emphasizes the procedural aspect of belief by which the "process of believing" becomes similar to other psychological processes. We will describe that the "violation of expectation" can be decoded from the credition perspective and has brain functional correlates. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 December 2021.
All research outputs
#16,674,441
of 25,312,451 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#17,920
of 34,187 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,160
of 320,472 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#417
of 599 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,312,451 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 34,187 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.2. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 320,472 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 599 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
