Attributional tendency is kind of putting a glass to see or interpret the situation, different cultures have different way to see things, and how to interpret them.... so it would be normal for you to have the same tendencies to act and see things the same way people from your culture sees it, but that doesn't mean that is the right explanation for it. we are subject to do many wrong attributions due to lack of information, and that can even be possible to judge our own behavior incorrectly, which is called bias in attribution. The attribution has some other categories like external vs internal. Stable vs Unstable and the last one, the topic of this article: Individualism vs Collectivism
A) Internal Attributions ascribe the causes of behavior to personal dispositions, traits, abilities, and feelings.
B) External Attributions ascribe the causes of behavior to situational demands and environmental constraint.
A) Stable = Concrete, unchanging factors of success/failure.
B) Unstable = Temporary, changing factors of success/failure.
B) Unstable = Temporary, changing factors of success/failure.
A) Individualism: Involves putting personal goals ahead of group goals and defining one’s identity in terms of personal attributes rather than group memberships.
B) Collectivism: Involves putting group goals ahead of personal goals and defining one’s identity in terms of the groups one belongs to (such as one’s family, tribe, work group, social class, caste, and so on.)
