Based on our understanding of psychology, we can confirm that the theory that seeks to explain how we decide, on the basis of samples of an individual's behavior, what are the specific underlying causes of that person's behavior, is known as attribution theory.
In psychology, attribution has a similar meaning to the way we use it in everyday life. Attribution is how we deal with events from a mental point of view, and whether we perceive these events from having been caused by ourselves or external factors. When we attribute an action to a person, we are applying a judgment in which we assume that, since they have done it before, they will do it again.
Another common use of the theory is to diagnose why people do the things that they do. Like the previous example, this judgment is based solely on past actions, though it carries more logical weight than the previous one since we are attributing an emotion instead of an action. This is how the theory uses samples of a person's behavior to determine the causes of that same behavior.
