DEFINITION
Attribution theory is a theory about how people explain things.
Attribution theory seeks to explain how and why people make these
causal attributions.

The Fundamental Attribution Error
The fundamental attribution error is the tendency
to attribute other peoples behavior to internal factors
such as personality traits, abilities, and feelings.
The fundamental attribution error is also called
the correspondence bias, because it is assumed
that other peoples behavior corresponds to their
personal attributes.
When explaining their own behavior, on the other hand, people
tend to attribute it to situational factors.
The Self-Serving Bias
The self-serving bias is the tendency to attribute successes to internal
factors and failures to situational factors.
Therefore, the further in the past an event is, the more likely people
are to congratulate themselves for successes and to blame the
situation for failures.
Shortcuts Used in Forming Impressions
of Others
Cont.
Selective Perception happens when a person selectively interprets
what he sees on the basis of his interests, background, experience,
and attitudes. It is impossible for a person to assimilate everything he
sees, hears, smells, touches or tastes. Only a limited number of
stimuli can be taken in. As a result, people engage in selective
perception, but the process is affected by personal interests,
background, experience and attitude of the perceiver.

Halo Effect occurs when one attribute of a person or situation is used to
develop an overall impression of the person or situation. In short, this occurs
when we draw a general impression on the basis of a single characteristic.
Contrast Effects evaluations of a persons characteristics that are affected
by comparisons with other people recently encountered who rank higher or
lower on the same characteristics. Here, we do not evaluate a person in
isolation. Our reaction to one person is influenced by other persons we have
recently encountered.
