Question

In heider's attribution theory, attributions are dichotomous—that is, there are two possible attributions a person can make about another's behavior. describe both of these types of attributions, then provide an example of each type of attribution one could make about why someone is running late for a meeting.

Answer 1

The two types of attributions that Heider came up with are internal and external attributions. When someone judges another person's actions by looking at their internal attributes such as character, personality, or religion, then this is called internal attributions. 
External contributions, on the other hand are based on people thinking that another person's actions are based on external events that causes that person to do this.
