In heider's attribution theory, attributions are dichotomous—that is, there are two possible attributions a person can make abou
t 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.
The two types of attributions that Heider came up with are internal and external attributions. W<span>hen 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 </span><span>are based on people thinking that another person's actions are based on external events that causes that person to do this.</span>
