Observers, and the Attribution Process: Toward a Reconceptualization

Monson, Thomas C.; Snyder, Mark

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 13, 1, 89-111, Jan 77

Jones and Nisbett (1972) hypothesize that actors attribute their actions to situational requirements whereas observers attribute the same actions to personal dispositions. This hypothesis is critically examined and a reconceptualization is proposed. (Editor/RK)
