They then compare themselves to other individuals and groups to help define who they are, both to themselves and others. Kelly’s attribution theory proposed that behavior can be attributed either to internal factors within a person or to external factors within the environment. Kelly attempted to pinpoint major antecedents of internal and external attributions. Kelly hypothesized that people make causal attributions after gathering information about three dimensions of behavior that is consensus, distinctiveness and consistency. These dimensions vary independently, thus forming various combination and leading to differing attributions. Consensus involves a comparison of an individual’s behavior with that of his or her peers. There is high consensus when one acts like the rest of the group and low consensus when one acts differently. Distinctiveness is
