Attributions for Poverty article draft

Lead section

Context/history of concept

- Kelley (1971): Augmentation principle: when the external cause inhibits or suppresses the observed effect ; presence of external cause actually heightens the impression that internal cause is present and potent. Refers to the costs of taking an action, where the actor is attributed more for the action than otherwise - Kelley (1973):
 * covariation concept: an effect is attributed to one of its possible causes, with which it covaries over time
 * configuration concept: using a single observation on the effect to make a causal inference

- Jones and Nisbett (1971): actors tend to attribute their own actions to situational cues while observers attribute the same action to stable personal dispositions because of differences in the information presented and salience of the information. observer's impression of uniqueness from how others may act in the situation leads to attributions from the disposition
