Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kelley proposed the covariation model of attribution, which includes three types of information: consensus (whether others behave similarly in a given situation), distinctiveness (whether the behavior is unique to a particular situation), and consistency (whether the behavior is consistent over time). These three types of information help individuals make attributions about the cause of a behavior. Therefore, the correct answer is B, which includes the three types of information proposed by Kelley.
