Example: I give $100 to charity every year. Dispositional: According to the self-serving bias, I attribute my own admirable actions to my own good reasons. I give $100 because I am generous and look out for others

Answer 1

Answer:

1) I give $100 to charity every year.---- dispositional

2) According to the self-serving bias, I attribute my own admirable actions to my own good reasons.---- situational

3) I give $100 because I am generous and look out for others---dispositional

Explanation:

Situational attribution refers to the process of allocate the cause of behavior to the situation outside the control of an individual rather than internal characteristic whereas, dispositional attribution refers to allocate the cause of behavior of an individual due to internal characteristic of a person and not due to outside forces. For example, ''I give $100 because I am generous and look out for others''. is refers to the dispositional attribution because it occurs from internal characteristics of the individual whereas the second sentence is situational attribution.
