Which theory holds that people look for two causes to explain the behavior of others?

A) attribution
B) feature
C) component
D) characteristic

Attribution theory suggests that people try to determine why others do what they do, that is, interpret causes to an event or behavior. According to this theory, individuals make attributions based on information gathered in the form of either internal attributions (dispositions, traits, abilities, feelings) or external attributions (situational, environmental, and external factors).
