Talk:Attribution theory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Business and economics assessment
This article says nothing about attribution theory in business. There is a fairly rich literature using attribution theory to explain things like stock market behavior, investor behavior, employee evaluations, who gets credit on a team,corporate learning, how organizations learn from experience, how they percieve their relationship to the market, how they percieve successes and failures, perceptions of senior management responsibility, etc Egfrank 19:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Intrinsic vs. extrinic
This page as written gets into a bunch of this intrinsic/extrinsic stuff, which isn't strictly speaking attribution theory, although it does rise out of it. Large sections of social psyshcology rise out of attribution theory though. I'm not sure if I got the labels for "unique" and "universal" quite right. Someone needs to yank a textbook and look up the old proper models... there were 2 of them, both were quite similar, and they each had 4 strategies (uniqueness, etc).
It would be helpful in this, as in all articles, not to get too bogged down in technical language. An anecdote or two would probably do the trick.
