The
Attribution theory, states that people act as they do in conflict situations
because of the interferences they make about others based on their behavior
(P.217). I recently asked my girlfriend to go to dinner with me, because I
haven’t seen her in awhile, she replied no because she had a lot of studying to
do for her test coming up. I knew she had the test coming up so my feelings
weren’t hurt. Then, I was invited by my other friends to go out to eat and I
said I couldn’t cause I already ate and they explained to me that they saw my
girlfriend(the one I asked to go out to eat) at the place they were eating at
with our friend. So I assumed she was trying to avoid me, or just didn’t want
to hang out with me so naturally my feelings were hurt. Later, I texted her and
made a remark stating our friends saw her. And she replied saying that they
were studying together and took a break together. At first I was annoyed and
bothered but later realized that I was in the wrong.
A
situation where making accurate attributions has helped me, is when I started
to learn how to do makeup. I was at my friends house and she was doing my
makeup for the night and I was telling her how much I loved my makeup and how I
wish I knew how to do makeup. Later, she taught me how to do basic makeup looks
and led me down the path of having so much passion for hair and makeup.
