Question

Gamiel and Aliyah go out to eat and Gamiel does not leave a tip for the waiter. If Aliyah explains his behavior by saying that he is frugal, she is making a(n) ________ attribution. If Aliyah explains his behavior by saying the service was terrible, she is making a ________ attribution.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is the attribution dispositional and situational

Explanation:

The attributions refer to the judgments that people make on behavior, and this depends on how people perceive the situation.

The attributions are divided into two:

• Dispositional Attribution
• Situational Attribution

It is known as dispositional attribution when we explain the behavior of people according to their personality characteristics, we make a judgment for the information that we know about them, obtaining an internal attribution about the behavior of the person in the situation.

For example in the case of Gamiel, he did not leave a tip for the waiter and Aliyah attributes this behavior based on the information he knows about Gamiel, who possibly only tips expensive places, Aliyah justifies the action through dispositional attribution.

The opposite of the internal attributions are the situational attributions, these justify the behavior of the people to external events that cannot be controlled but that cause an effect on the behavior of the person. For example, Gamiel and Aliyah had the experience of having a horrible service by the waiter, for which Gamiel does not leave a tip, Aliyah justifies this action to the lousy service received, here she is using situational attribution.
