Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Situational information is not specifically used to form attributions in the same way as distinctiveness, consensus, and consistency information. Attribution theory focuses on how people interpret and explain causal relationships in the social world. Distinctiveness information (how an individual's behavior varies from one situation to another), consensus information (how an individual's behavior compares with others' behavior), and consistency information (how consistent an individual's behavior is over time) are directly used to determine whether an action is attributed to internal or external causes. Situational information can influence attributions but is not categorized as a distinct type of information like the others.
