One is to notice how many people are doing the same thing. Ex. If one person is consistently late, the assumption is that the person is not very careful about time (internal cause) But if several people are late on the same day, the assumption is that there must be bad traffic (situational cause) Another way is to think about what you would do in the same situation. If you think that you might behave in the same way, the cause of behavior is probably situational. People should also make the effort of looking for causes that might not be obvious. Ex. If someone coming in late looks particularly stressed out, the assumption might be that something stressed him out, changing the cause of behavior from internal to external.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
