Attribution theories suggest that when assessing an individual's actions, judgments are made about the cause of these behaviours and often these judgments focus on internal or external causal explanations. The current research investigated the effect... Read More about Investigating the Influence of Causal Attributions on Both the Worksheet and Checklist Versions of the HCR-20.
