Abstract

The attribution process has been empirically and theoretically explored since the publication of Fritz Heider's text, The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations (1958). All of the related thinking has not been derived from Heider's theory. Reviews by Jones and Davis (l965) and Kelley (1976) indicated that other sources such as Festinger's dissonance theory and Skinner's behavioristic perspective had led to research concerned with attribution theory.
