Write a short description on the attribution theory.

Attribution theory demonstrates that individuals tend to decide that a behavior is caused by a particular characteristic or event.We make these attributions or judgments about what caused the resulting behavior based on our personal observation or evaluation of the situation.Understanding how and why you make these attributions is important because future decisions and behaviors are based more on your perception of why something happened rather than on the actual outcome.It is also important to evaluate whether these judgments are attributed more to internal or external factors.Attributing outcomes to controllable factors tends to be a stronger indicator of future behavior than attributing them to uncontrollable factors.Behavior and perception have an impact on your attributions.
The self-serving bias causes us to overestimate internal factors for successes and blame external factors for failures.Another bias is related to the fundamental attribution error,which causes individuals to tend to overestimate the impact of internal factors and underestimate the influence of external factors when evaluating the behavior of others.It is important to evaluate both internal and external factors before jumping to conclusions.
