	Are Human Activities Contributing to Climate Change? From Common Questions about Climate Change
		The further step of attributing some part of observed temperature changes to human influences makes use of climate models, which have been employed to estimate the climatic effects of a range of human-induced and natural factors.
		To probe the question of attribution requires the application of more powerful and complex methods, beyond the use of global averages alone.
		Attribution studies seek to obtain a fingerprint match between the patterns of climate change predicted by models and those actually observed.

	A Question of Attribution - Alan Bennett
		A Question of Attribution is generally performed together with An Englishman Abroad (see our review) as Single Spies.
		A Question of Attribution is also about art, and uses art as a reflection of, specifically, Blunt's life (and his precarious position at the time).
		A Question of Attribution is both very funny and very clever -- while managing to avoid being merely clever for the sake of cleverness.

	Islam Question and Answer - Attribution of an illegitimate child and rulings that result from that
		There it says that the correct view is that this attribution is not valid, so it is not permissible to attribute the illegitimate child to the zaani, rather he should be attributed to his mother, even if there is certainty that this child was fathered by this zaani.
		The correct scholarly view is that the child is not to be attributed to the man who had intercourse with the woman, unless intercourse took place within the framework of a valid or invalid marriage or something that may be taken as a marriage contract or concubinage or something that may be taken as concubinage.
		In such cases, the child may be attributed to the man who had intercourse with the woman, and they may inherit from one another.

	Heijungs, Reinout
		In the second place, the average attribution rule proposed from the epistemological principles designed to answer the attribution problem, do not appear to be in line with the majority of present approaches to life-cycle impact assessment.
		The specific question addressed in this study was the attribution problem, which was introduced as the question of which environmental problems are to be attributed to which economic activities.
		Despite these open questions, the study can be seen as developing a foundation for a number of tools for environmental analysis and decision-support, a foundation which leaves minimum scope for ambiguities, inconsistencies, and arbitrariness.

	Synthesis Report - Question 2
		Although short-term climate variations are considered predominantly natural at present, their impacts are discussed in this question because they represent a class of changes that may become more prevalent in a future climate perturbed by human activities (see Question 4).
		Attribution is used here as the process of establishing the most likely causes for the detected change with some defined level of confidence.
		The discussion includes both climate change that is attributable to human influence and climate change that may at present be natural but might in the future be modified through human influence (see Box 3-1).

	Addressing the Attribution Question in Extension
		Finding an answer to this question is neither easy nor straightforward because (a) non-program variables in the program environment influence outcomes, (b) identifying and measuring all relevant program variables may not be feasible or possible, and (c) practical program and study considerations mitigate outcomes.
		Attributing outcome to a program with a high level of certainty is confounded by non-program influences and those program variables which cannot be or are not considered by the evaluation.
		As such, causation attribution in extension programming is likely to be rare and restricted to programs and program environments that are homogeneous and tightly controlled, with one or a small number of treatment variables.

	Attribution Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Attribution theory is seen as very relevant to the study of a person’s perceptions, event perceptions and attitude change, which can then lead to individuals impacting their own self-esteem, as well as their own levels of anxiety.
		A situation where individuals attribute their excess to some external factor or their downfall to external factors, i.e., students that may have failed a test may externalize and attribute this failure to not studying well, studying the wrong material, the instructor did not give us this information.
		The anxiety is a result of perceptions (or attributes) individuals place on either themselves or an event, that is in direct conflict with their existing value structures.

	René Descartes [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		He can't claim to have these attributes of the soul since this involves a body, knowledge of which, in turn, is based on the senses.
		It is the defining or principal attribute that clear and distinct perception is supposed to ascertain.
		Attributes, such as sense perception, movement, and appetite require a body, are attributes of our body and not of our spirit and, hence, do not comprise our essence.
