  Communication Theory: A First Look   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Heider, who became a psychologist and taught at the University of Kansas, said that attribution is the process of drawing inferences.
Heider stated that we judge an actor’s freedom as proportional to the difficulty of performing the act.
Heider’s ideas may not be perfect, but as the theory itself suggests, few objects of our judgment are as good or as bad as we want to give them credit for being.

 Attribution Theory Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Attribution theory emerged from Heider's (1958) "naïve" or "lay" psychology and subsequent reformulations by Jones and Davis (1965) and Kelley (1967).
Heider postulated a set of rules of inference by which the ordinary person might attribute responsibility to another person (an "actor") for an action.
Heider distinguished between internal and external attributions, arguing that both personal forces and environmental factors operate on the "actor," and the balance of these determines the attribution of responsibility (Lewis and Daltroy, 1990).

Heider, the younger of two sons, was born in Vienna on February 18, 1896, to Moriz and Eugenie von Halaczy Heider.
In 1930, Heider accepted an offer to conduct research at the Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, Massachutsetts, and to be an assistant professor at Smith College.
More important, however, were series of notebooks Heider had kept during his career, in which he explained and diagramed many of his theories, listed references, and discussed many of the questions he had tried to answer through his research.

The attribution theory had its beginnings with psychologist Dr. Fritz Heider who termed it common sense or naïve psychology because it related how non-scientists determine the cause of a situation (Ross, 74).
Heider determined that “an individuals level of performance on a task will be attributed either to factors within the person (internal) or factors within the environment (external)” (Ross, 89).
Kelley determined Heider’s notion of minimum data pattern to be valid and expanded on it.

 Zhigang Wang and Warren Thorngate: Sentiment and social mitosis
Using assumptions of Balance Theory (Heider 1958), random starting combinations of liking, disliking and no relations among 9, 16 or 25 people were iteratively adjusted to determine if the relations ever settled to a steady state and what subgroups might emerge.
In simplified form, Heider's Balance Theory (1958, Chapter 7) states that sentimental relations between two people tend toward a homeostatic state of symmetry or balance in which the sentiments are the same, either both positive (+) or both negative (-).
Heider (1958) proposes that when only two of the three symmetrical relations have been established, the third or null relation is likely to develop in the direction that balances the other two through a process he calls induction (205-206).

Heider believed that people generally tended to give more attribution than they should to personality, and, conversely, less than they should to situations.

 hakank.blogg: Fritz Heider & Mary-Ann Simmel "An Experimental Study of Apparent Behavior": hur vi tillskriver object ...
Heider and Simmel's objective in "An Experimental Study of Apparent Behaviour" (1944) is to demonstrate the usefulness of such an endlessly variable animation as a tool in the investigation of "the perception of the behaviour of persons" (Heider and Simmel, 1944: 251).
Given that their object is "the behaviour of persons," Heider and Simmel allow themselves the assumption that their subjects will readily interpret the changes in the field - realised in the mind of the viewers as the movement of shapes"in terms of actions of animated beings" (Heider and Simmel, 1944: 259).
For instance, virtually all their subjects regard the rectangle's moving segment as a door, and do so, Heider and Simmel argue, because it moves only when T, t or c are in contact with it.

 Sociometric Analysis and Graph Theory
Heider's particular concern was with interpersonal balance, the congruence (or lack of congruence) among attitudes to other people.
Heider (1946) held that attitudes can be seen, at their simplest, as positive or negative.
It is important to note that, for Heider as for Lewin, this kind of analysis relates to the way in which the world is perceived from the standpoint of a focal individual: Heider was adopting an explicitly,phenomenological' stance.

Fritz Heider looks at it like this: You are the person (P); your child is the other (O); the clay ashtray is the third element in the triangle (X).
Heider says that our minds tend to seek out a balanced state when dealing with such situations, wherein the relations among person, other, and thing are "harmonious." Three positive relations are harmonious.
Heider didn't restrict his balance theory to triangles.

Fritz Heider, with his work on balance theory and people's "naive theory of action," which later became (reduced to) attribution theory
Heider was originally interested in attributions as interpretations of sense data (in his Ph.D. thesis 1925).
The tension between intentional concepts on the one hand and the person-situation distinction on the other was never resolved; Heider did not clarify their relationship, and subsequent theories simply dropped intentional concepts and focused on the simpler person-situation distinction.

 Attribution Theory (Heider)
The Attribution Theory by Fritz Heider is a method that can be used for evaluating how people perceive the behavior of themselves and of other people.
Heider first wrote about attribution theory in his book The Psychology of Interpersonal Relationships (1958).
Kelley (1967) advanced Heider's theory by adding hypotheses about factors that affect the formation of attributions: consistency, distinctiveness, and consensus.

 GestaltAndCamouflage
Near the end of the article, Heider talks briefly about Gestalt psychologist Max Wertheimer's research of "unit-forming factors" (or perceptual grouping tendencies) and the explicit use of comparable strategies, during roughly the same time period, in the cubist paintings of Pablo Picasso.
Like Heider, she does not suggest that Gestalt theory is derivative, but expresses astonishment that Thayer, working in advance of Gestalt theory and with the training of an artist, "enunciated a principle which is basically very like the findings of the Gestalter's laboratory--an unexpected confirmation of the Gestalt doctrine" (Keen 1932, 202).
As Heider concludes, "this tenuous contact [between Gestalt theory and cubism] by way of camouflage does not mean there was an influence in either direction as far as Wertheimer and Picasso were concerned.

 Attribution Theory - ATTRIBUTION PROCESS
Heider proposed that what people perceived and believed about what they saw dictated how they would act, even if their beliefs about what they perceived were invalid.
Heider's proposed theory of attribution was further developed by psychologist Bernard Weiner and colleagues in the 1970s and 1980s, and this new theoretical framework has been used primarily in current attribution research.
A final development to attribution theory was provided by psychologist Harold Kelley, who examined how consistency, distinctiveness, and consensus could be used by individuals to establish the validity of their perceptions.

A question in her mind was that whether his behavior on the stand was that of pathological liar, a rejected pal seeking revenge, a petty crook who would say anything to save his own skin, or and honest witness dedicated to the truth?
All this falls into Fritz Heider’s attribution theory saying that we all tend to rationalize in the same way.
Fritz said that the theory of attribution is the process of drawing inferences.

 Interactions: Social perception
(Lefton et al., 2000) Fritz Heider (1958) is often referred to as the "Father of Attribution Theory".
One of Heider's most valuable contributions is a simple dichotomy: When trying to decide why people behave as they do, we can make either an internal (dispositional) attribution or an external (situational) attribution.
While either type of attribution is possible, Heider noted that we tend to see the causes of a person's behaviour as residing in that person.

Ein Ding, so definiert Heider, ist wahrnehmbar in einem diese Wahrnehmung vermittelnden Medium.
Weil sich das Ding der Wahrnehmung verdankt, die ihrerseits nur durch das Medium möglich ist, kann kein Ding außerhalb eines Mediums sein.

Attribution theory is a field of social psychology, which was born out of the theoritical models of Fritz Heider, Harold Kelley, Edward E. Jones, and Lee Ross.
Attribution theory is concerned with the ways in which people explain (or attribute) the behavior of others.
It is when the reason for the reward is attributed to external factors that the behaviour change might not be in the desired direction.
