Situational and dispositional causes

Attribution theory explores how individuals interpret events and behaviors through situational or dispositional lenses. This theory examines common scenarios, such as blaming traffic for lateness or labeling aggressive fans as 'animals' after a game. These examples highlight the tendency to attribute behaviors to internal traits, like clumsiness or ignorance, rather than external situations. Leading psychologists like Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo contribute to this discussion by exploring factors influencing human behavior under varying circumstances, including societal and environmental conditions.
