5. Describe the role of situational and
dispostional factors in explaining behaviour
- Dispostional causes:
- This is when someone attributes the cause of
behaviour to their internal characteristics (their
beleifs, attitudes and personality). tend to be stable
factors
- E.g. a student doing badly in a test because
they were too lazy to revise and therefore
their failure was due to their dispostion

- Fundamental attribution error
- Ross:
- Aim: to see if student ppts would commit fundamental attribution error even when they knew actors were simply playing a role. Method: ppts randomly assigned gameshow host, player or audience. Hosts had to design question and audience had to watch gameshow and then rate the intelligence of the participants. Results

- Situational causes:
- Attributing the causes of behaviour to
external factors such as immediate rewards
and punishments in a social setting or
pressure. Tend to be transient factors
- E.g.a student doing badly in a test becasue
the teacher was not very good and did not
teach the content in the test, failure therefore
due to their situation
