Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The study of attribution is concerned with how people make judgments about the causes of others' behaviors, which is closely related to impression formation. Attribution theory is concerned with how people explain the behavior of others, including interpreting others' actions and determining whether they are caused by internal factors (e.g. personality traits, intentions) or external factors (e.g. situational factors, context). While social influence, persuasion, and conformity are all important areas of study in social psychology, they are not directly related to the study of attribution.
