Causal Attribution by Miles Hewstone

Attribution theory deals with how people explain social behaviour: their causal attributions or common-sense explanations. This book provides a major assessment of attribution theory in social psychology during the last 40 years.
"An interesting and clear introduction and, at the same time, a sophisticated and up-to-date review of theoretical and empirical issues... The novice will value it for its clarity while the expert will find in it fresh insights derived from Miles Hewstone's theoretical integration." Professor Klaus Fiedler, University of Giessen

"This volume presents some of the most thoughtful and challenging analyses of theory and research in contemporary attribution that can be found anywhere in the literature. The book is timely, filled with discussions of key research issues, and amazingly up-to-date in references provide." Professor John H. Harvey, University of Iowa
