Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of attribution in psychology, which refers to how people explain the causes of behavior and events.
Recognize that there are two main types of attributions: dispositional (internal) and situational (external).
Dispositional attribution assigns behavior to internal characteristics such as personality traits, motives, or attitudes.
Situational attribution assigns behavior to external factors such as the environment, social pressure, or circumstances.
Since the question asks about attributing behavior to a person's environment, identify that this corresponds to a situational attribution.
