While riding up a ski lift, you see a skier falling down the mountain. You decide that the skier must not have been very skilled and should have been on an easier slope. Your friend, however, thinks the skier fell because conditions on the mountain were dangerous. You are making a attribution and your friend is making a attribution.

The answer is dispositional and situational, respectively.

Explanation:

A dispositional attribution judgement holds a person's internal traits as responsible for an outcome. In the example, you think the skier fell due to his lack of skills.

On the other hand, a situational attribution holds the conditions of the environment or the situation as responsible for the outcome.

Studies show that situational attribution is more common when judging our own outcomes, especially when negative.

explanation:

kill anyone that got in the way

this null effect is caused by a weak manipulation and ineffective internal validity. in a scientific study, as the one dr. morimoto is trying to perfom, internal validity refers to the confidence placed in the cause-effect relationship and to how well an experiment is done and able to eliminate confounding variables.
