By attributing causes to actions, individuals seek to make sense of their social world, predict future behavior, and regulate their own responses. Attribution theories are broadly categorized into several major frameworks, each offering different perspectives on how people interpret behavior. One of the foundational models is Heider’s Attribution Theory. Fritz Heider, often called the father of attribution theory, proposed that people are naive psychologists who naturally try to understand the motives behind others’ behavior. According to Heider, attribution can be divided into two types: internal (personal) attribution and external (situational) attribution. Internal attribution assigns behavior to a person’s stable characteristics, such as personality, attitude, or ability, while external attribution attributes behavior to situational influences, such as luck, social pressure, or environmental constraints. For example, if a student performs well on an exam, one might attribute it internally to their intelligence or study habits or externally to an easy exam or helpful guidance. Building on Heider’s ideas, Jones and Davis (1965) proposed the Correspondent Inference Theory, which focuses on how people infer a person’s stable
