Figure 13.1: Cultural difference in making attributions When asked to explain another person’s behavior, the proportion of attributions to internal disposition (personality or attitude) was greater among people in the United States than it was among Hindus in India, and this difference was greater for adults than for children. (The proportions were determined by dividing the number of person attributions by the total number of person plus situation attributions for each group. Data from Miller, 1984.)
