Humans are motivated to assign causes to their actions and behaviors. Social psychology states that attribution is the process by which individuals explain the causes of behavior and events as being either external or internal. Models to explain this process are called attribution theory.  Psychological research into attribution began with the work of Fritz Heider in the early 20th century, and the theory was further advanced by Harold Kelley and Bernard Weiner.
Attribution is a term used in psychology which deals with how individuals perceive the causes of everyday experience, as being either external or internal. Models to explain this process are called attribution theory. For instance, an experience may be perceived as being caused by factors outside the person's control (external) or it may be perceived as the person's own doing (internal). This form of attribution is called the 'locus of causality'.
