Answer:
Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:
An attribution is an explanation for a particular behavior. The attribution one assigns to a particular behavior can affect one's attitude and the behavior that is desired in response. For instance, if one believes that criminals act because of internal attributions (they commit crimes because they are immoral), one might believe that the only solution to crime is to arrest and jail as many criminals as possible. If, however, one believes that criminals act because of external attributions (they commit crimes because they are impoverished), one's solution might be to change the circumstance in which criminals live. The change in attribution affects the outlook and the potential actions.
