This chapter offers a reading of Potter's Discursive social psychology(DSP): From attitudes to evaluative practices paper. Since the publication of DSP98, discursive psychology has considerably changed the landscape of psychological research on attitudes. The chapter highlights where and how discursive psychological research has developed some of the issues raised in DSP98. One of the core arguments of DSP98 was the importance of studying people's practices. The focus is specifically on the impact of DSP98 in two substantive and inter related areas: the subtle variation of assessments in social interaction, and subject-object relations and the role of attitudes. DSP98 highlighted the variable and socially organised way in which assessments are grounded in everyday business and the functions and interactional implications of assessments. In the current academic climate, the cognitive interpretation is dominant and taken for granted as the way of understanding attitudes. Attitudes therefore became a product of an internal, cognitive or affective state.
