    What is attribution theory? What are the three determinants?
    Ans:
    Attribution theory: This theory determines whether an individual’s behaviour is internally or
    externally caused.
    Three determinants of attribution theory
    1. Distinctiveness: It refers to whether individual display different behaviour at different
    situations. It is observed that this behaviour is usual if it is usual then distinctiveness
    is high and highly likely is external attribution. Whereas if it is not usual then
    distinctiveness is low and highly is an internal attribution.
    2. Consensus: It refers to whether people behave in a same way when the situation is
    different. If consensus is high it is externally attributed but if consensus is low it is
    internally attributed.
    3. Consistency: It refers that the individuals have same behaviour overtime. If
    consistency is low then it is externally attributed. If consistency is high then it is
    internally attributed.

    Question no 3

    experience or attitude.
