Answered

Our attempt to observe someone else to determine whether their behaviour is internally or externally caused is generally referred to as ________.
1) fundamental attribution error
2) self-serving bias
3) attribution theory
4) selective behaviour theory
5) perception



Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is 3) attribution theory

Explanation:

Attribution theory refers to our attempt to understand the causes behind people's behavior, whether they are attributed to internal factors (such as personality traits or motives) or external factors (such as situational factors or circumstances). It involves making judgments and explanations about the reasons for someone's behavior based on our observations and interpretations of their actions and the context in which they occur.

The other options listed—fundamental attribution error, self-serving bias, selective behavior theory, and perception—are related concepts but do not specifically refer to the process of attributing behavior to internal or external causes as attribution theory does.
