“…This has been proposed by a number of writers as an alternative to the ANOVA model of causal attribution (e.g. Abelson and Lalljee, in press;Hilton, 1985;Lalljee and Abelson, 1983;Leddo, Abelson and Gross, 1984;Newcombe and Rutter, 1982;Read, 1987;Smith and Miller, 1979). Schank and Abelson's (1977) model of story-understanding, particularly as developed by Wilensky (1978Wilensky ( , 1983, hypothesizes that stories are comprehended by using a 'plan applier mechanism' that seeks to explain actions in terms of plans, plans in terms of goals, and goals in terms of certain states.…”

“…The examples just discussed reflect the salience and consequences of attributions in interpersonal contexts. Despite the expansive and diverse domains and questions to which Attribution Theory has been applied, the theory is not without its problems, and Attribution Theory has received its share of critical review (e.g., Newcombe & Rutter, 1982;Semin, 1980). There are many criteria by which theories can be evaluated.…”

Engaging Theories in Interpersonal Communication: Multiple Perspectives

H umans are an inquisitive species: We wonder why and how things occur, and we develop religions, philosophies, and sciences as ways of answering our questions. Such curiosity influences our cultural, societal, interpersonal, and personal lives in intricate ways. We can easily see many everyday examples of this in our own minds and in our conversations with friends: We ask ourselves why another person looks so lonely, we think about why we did not get a job, and we talk to others to try to figure out why the person we went out with on Saturday has not called us since then. After all, it's Tuesday! So fundamental is the process of asking and answering "why" questionstrying to figure out what caused something else-that it has been characterized as a basic human activity (Heider, 1958), and a family of theories has developed to illumine how and why things happen as they do. This set of theories, collectively called Attribution Theory, attempts to describe and explain the mental and communicative processes involved in everyday explanations, most typically explanations of individual and social events. In this chapter, we describe select parts of these theories and their related scholarship, and we offer critiques of its usefulness for understanding interpersonal communication processes. Purpose and Meta-theoretical Assumptions Even though attributions are talked about in everyday life and studied by people in many academic disciplines, most attribution theories arose in-and 37
