How is attribution influenced by consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should begin by defining attribution. Next, it should describe the principles

are high and consistency is low and attributionsof dispositional causality when consensus and
distinctiveness are low and consistency is high.
