Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFAttribution theory explains how individuals interpret and assign causes to their successes and failures. These causes can be internal (within oneself) or external (outside oneself), stable (unchangeable) or unstable (changeable), and controllable or uncontrollable.
Key Points
