Answer 1

When we decide that there is something about the situation that is causing a behavior , we are making a situational attribution.

Explanation:

Attribution theory mainly deals with how common people deal with the causes of events and behavior .For example if somebody is angry then there are two reason for being so , the first reason is the person is hot- tempered or something worse has happened.

Situational attribution is such that looks at the outside factor that is causing an act.One of the example of situational attribution is that a person scored well in his exam because it was an an easy paper, here easy paper is the external factor that's why the person scored well.
