Attribution theory is a field of psychology that explains why people act the way they do. It was first introduced by Fritz Heider in 1958 and focuses on how people draw conclusions about the cause of an action or event. Attribution theory proposes that people attribute behaviors to either dispositional (internal) causes or situational (external) causes, and it is important for understanding why individuals make the choices they do. For example, attribution theory can be used to explain why someone might choose to buy a product, donate money to a charity, or engage with content marketing. Additionally, it has implications for influencing behavior; understanding how attribution works can help marketers create effective messaging strategies.
