Answer:

In social psychology, attribution is the process of inferring the causes of events or behaviors. In real life, attribution is something we all do every day, usually without any awareness of the underlying processes and biases that lead to our inferences.

For example, over the course of a typical day, you probably make numerous attributions about your own behavior as well as that of the people around you.

When you get a poor grade on a quiz, you might blame the teacher for not adequately explaining the material, completely dismissing the fact that you didn't study. When a classmate gets a great grade on the same quiz, you might attribute his good performance to luck, neglecting the fact that he has excellent study habits.

Answer:

In psychology, the attribution theory is concerned with how ordinary people explain the causes of behavior and events. One example maybe that someone is sad because they are depressed or because something tragic happened. The fundamental attribution error refers to an individual's tendency to attribute another's actions to their character or personality while attributing their behavior to external situational factors outside of their control. For instance, if something terrible happened to a person, they would blame the person's personality or behavior for what happened. Another way we explain a person's behavior is through the self-serving bias, which is the common habit of a person taking credit for positive events or outcomes but blaming outside factors for adverse events. For example, if a person got a good grade on a test, they would say that it was because of their hard work, but if they got a bad grade, they would blame the teacher for not teaching them well. These explanations help our understanding of behavior by explaining and defining the behavior. Furthermore, it hurts our understanding by categorizing behaviors into only these categories, excluding other behavior, making unusual behavior seem abnormal.

Okay, think of an essay or paragraph as like stating your opinion. Here’s how to break it down so it’s a little easier:

Paragraph 1 - Introduction.
Provide background information on the topic. Give about 1-2 sentences on what the topic is about, and for the 3rd sentence, put in a statement that IS your argument.
For example, “French fries are the best food ever because they are delicious.”

Paragraph 2 - Conflict.
Elaborate on your argument/thesis statement. Since that seems to be your conflict, describe something hard you’ve been through. What was hard about it? How did it affect you?

Paragraph 3 - Response
Elaborate more on how the conflict affected you personally. If you can, try to connect it to a bigger picture or theme.
For example, “I broke my leg in middle school as a result of a basketball injury. Therefore, we should eliminate school sports because they cause injuries.”
It’s a reach, but that’s the entire point of connecting to a bigger theme.

Paragraph 4 - Explain Response
Here is where you’re going to connect your response in paragraph 3 to a bigger picture. Talk about the outcome and effect you showed in paragraph 3.

The questions mentioned should help you- break it down in a way that you understand. I tried to simplify this for you in the easiest way possible, I hope it helps and good luck :)

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The economic concept of scarcity.

Explanation:

In economics, <em>scarcity</em><em> </em>represents the phenomenon of <em>limitless</em> <em>wants</em> suppressed by <em>limited</em><em> </em><em>resources</em>.

In this case, Allie feels she needs $90 shoes while she has not got the resources required to buy them.

This typical economic problem can be solved by moderating one's wants and clearly identifying what is priority from what is not, then intelligently making decisions on what available resources should be spent.
