Kelleyís Covariation Model
We make attributions based on the covariation principle - a cause must be present when an event occurs and absent when it doesnít occur
He says we use three kinds of covariation information
- Consensus information - what do other people in general say about the event
- Distinctiveness - what does this person say about other events
- Consistency - what does this person say
Now How do you put these things together
