About this episode
This episode explores how attribution theory influences our emotions and perceptions of behavior.
We often attribute someone else’s bad behaviour to their personality but our own bad behaviour to circumstances. Where we attribute cause influences where we place blame and has a huge effect on the meaning we attribute and feelings about that situation. Today we consider attribution and its effect on our emotions.
