group 6

external behavior??? did u know?? lets get it...

Everyone has a unique personality and as a consequence, a unique life story. What has made you the person you are ????..take a time and think what has made you the person you are…Ideally,the attribution theory can described what are the person you are?..The attribution theory is a theory that explains how individuals pinpoint the causes of their own behavior and that other…
Exactly, the attribution theory can be divide by two behavior The attribution can be made to an internal behavior of responsibility (something within the individual’s control)or an external behavior something outside the individual’s control).

Now, we love to go narrow about the external behavior…Externally means the believed to be beyond a personal control. Alternatively, you might say it was and easy test (you would attribute your success to degree of task difficulty) or that you had good luck. In this case, you are attributing your performance to sources beyond your control or external sources. you can see that external attribution include causes like task difficulty or luck…

The externally causes of behavior have three types..there is a distinctiveness, concensus and consistency. Do you know what is the distinctiveness??and what is going on about the consencus and consistency????

Then, we go on the distinctiveness first..The distinctiveness is whether an individual displays different behavior in different situation what we want to know is whether this behavior is unusual. If this action is not usual,it will probably judge as internal..

Second, looking for the consencus.. we can say the behavior shows consencus if everyone who is faced with a similar situation respond in the same way…

Lastly, when a person respond the same way over time we can called it consistency..like we say that, the more consistent the behavior, the more the observer is inclined to attribute it to internal cause

If consensus, consistency and distinctiveness all are high, we conclude that this person act from external causes. This means that most other people, act like this one, that this person behave in the same way at other time and the person does not act in the same way in other situation.

Now, for example we take about as example image that several other member of the group also complain about their food and service (consensus is high), that you have seen this person complain the same restaurant at other time (consistency is high), but you have not seen this person complain in other sitting, for example meeting in other restaurant. in this case, we can conclude that this person behavior come from external causes…..

so.. lets think.. it is you are behave same with this behavior??? huhuhu
ask yourself
