Attributions are __________________.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In approaching the concept of Attributions, we consider explanations people generate for why events or behaviors occur. 
Option 1: 'explanations that account for one's own behaviors and/or the behaviors of others' This is correct, as attributions are cognitive processes where individuals infer causes for themselves and for others' actions. It encompasses situational and dispositional factors that people think are responsible for behavior. 
Option 2: 'innate personality traits' While traits describe consistent patterns of behavior, attributions are about the explanations we generate for actions, not the traits themselves. This option confuses an observed cause with a descriptor of the person. 
Option 3: 'genetic predispositions to behave a certain way' Genetics may influence behavior, but attributions specifically refer to the explanations we ascribe to behavior, not biological predispositions as a concept. This narrows the scope beyond what attribution theory addresses. 
Option 4: 'physical qualities people have, such as attractiveness' Attributions are about causal explanations, not about listing physical qualities as the cause themselves. This option misinterprets attribution as a static trait or attribute rather than a cognitive inference about causality.
