- - - - Reasons:
        
        Actor is salient -> situation less salient
        
        Two-step model:
        1) Automatic internal attribution
        2) Effortful adjustment for situation
  - - - Reasons:
        
        Actors see the situation; observers see the actor
        
        Actors know their own motivation history
  - - - Includes:
        
        Defensive attributions
        
        Unrealistic optimism
        
        Belief in a just world
      - Motivation:
        Protect self-esteem & self-image
- - - - Consensus: Do others behave this way?
        
        Consistency: Does this person behave this way across time?
        
        Distinctiveness: Does this person behave this way to other stimuli?
    - - High Consensus + High Consistency + High Distinctiveness -> External
        
        Low Consensus + High Consistency + Low Distinctiveness -> Internal
        
        Low Consistency -> Situational / Circumstantial
        
        Only low consensus -> Insufficient data
    - - Requires info people usually don't have
        
        Requires complex processing
        
        Correlation ≠ causation
  - - - Infer internal, stable traits from behaviour
    - - Behaviour not social desirable
        
        Behaviour freely chosen
        
        Hegemonic relevance (affects us)
        
        Personalism (intended to impact us)
        
        Non-common effects (unique outcomes)
    - - Unintentional acts can still lead to dispositional inference
  - - - Need to understand motives
        
        Need predictability -> prefer stable causes
    - - Internal (dispositions)
        
        External (situations)
