Kelley's Model of Attribution

behavior can be attributed either to internal factors within a person (such as ability) or external factors within the environment (such as a difficult task) 1. consensus: compares an individual's behavior with that or his or her peers - high consensus = someone acts like rest of the group - low consensus = someone acts differently 2. distinctiveness: compares a person's behavior on one task with his or her behavior on other tasks - high distinctiveness = individual performed task in significantly different manner than he/she performed other tasks 3. consistency: judges whether the individual's performance on a given task is consistent - high consistency = person performs a certain task the same way, with little to no variation over time - low consistency = person is unable to perform a certain task at some standard level
