A situational attribution is a term that is used in psychology to put the responsibility of something on the situation of a person. This something can be a behaviour, a way of thinking, an idea, or an event. When we employ a situational attribution, it means that we ascribe such elements to a person's luck, external pressure or external circumstances.
