People from collectivist cultures are more likely to make attributions based on dispositions than are people in more individualistic cultures.

People from collectivist cultures are more likely to make attributions based on situational factors rather than dispositional factors. This is because collectivist cultures emphasize the importance of social harmony and conformity, and therefore individuals are more likely to consider external factors and how the behavior of others is influenced by their surroundings. In contrast, individualistic cultures place greater emphasis on personal independence and achievement, and individuals in these cultures are more likely to attribute behavior to the characteristics or traits of the individual.
