Attribution theory is a psychological explanation of how people define their and others behavior. According to Heider, there are two general categories of behavioral attributions. The first one is external situational attribution and the other is internal dispositional attribution. For example, if a person got rejected after asking someone out on a date, the three dispositional factors could be that she rejected because she is rude, has a very high self-esteem, or loves rich people. The three situational
There has been lots of issues our city is facing yet, the most menacing is the issue on traffic management. Regarding this, a code was passed and approved by Mayor Oscar Moreno, City Ordinance 10551-2007 or commonly known as the Operation Hapsay Dalan. This was spearheaded by former CEPALCO Vice President Atty. Jose Edgardo “Egay” Uy in partnership with the police, Task Force Hapsay Dalan and the Roads and Traffic Administration. The operation focuses on solving the traffic issues on pedestrians
The theory posits that the influence of brand attitude and brand attachment on behavioral intention will vary based on the failure causal attributions. According to the Attribution Theory, there are three constructs of causal attribution namely, (1) locus of control that refers to whether the cause of a failure is located in the customer or in the service organization (Hess et al., 2003), (2) stability that refers to the extent to which
There are many reasons one can use when exploring and understanding the notion of failure to explain why some people fail and why others succeed. There are numerous schools of thought when it comes to determining which factors affect people in terms of their motivation to succeed and why some people seem to completely lack motivation and still manage to succeed. Success and failure is, of course, subjective, and so these studies base their findings on general consensus and common perceptions of success
Based on the readings in your textbook (Stangor, 2010), define, in your own words, the following terms: fundamental attribution error, cognitive dissonance, and diffusion of responsibility. Provide at least one example for each of those terms. Fundamental attribution error: is when you tend quickly to judge others in base of a specific behavior without assessing the situation in which the behavior is occurred. For example, when participating in a business meeting which is a very formal
Psychological research into causal attributions began in the early twentieth century with the work of Fritz Heider, an Austrian psychologist. Attribution theory focuses on how one makes sense of other people’s behaviour as well as their own behaviour. Firstly behaviour is observed, secondly, people consider why the behaviour occurred and thirdly attribution seeks to perceive or understand the causality of why something occurred. Another factor on how people attribute other people and their behaviour

The concept of Adversity Quotient discovered by Stoltz (1997) is a science theory of human performance deeply rooted in several sciences like cognitive psychology (control and mastery of one’s life), psychoneuroses-immunology (immune function), and neurophysiology (science of the brain). The cognitive psychology research has found that people respond to problems in consistent patterns that do not change unless the individual takes action to modify the behavior. This included several essential concepts
Climate Change Climate change – To What extent is man’s responsible for an increase in global temperature? The world’s climate is changing, and the changes will have an enormous impact on our planet’s people, ecosystems, cities, and energy use. Also, Global warming may affect the average global air temperature is already 1.5 degrees to 0.15 degrees due to carbon emission. However, the changes could be significant with its small but dispersed in the future. Most experts and researches have proved
Climate change is one contemporary issue that has created several impacts on the environment and communities. Climate change, also called global warming, refers to the rise in average surface temperatures on Earth. This also includes changes in the patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. (Washington Department of Ecology, 2016) One of the main factors contributing to climate change is the abundant release of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Since the Industrial Revolution
