ABSTRACT
We all have to make sense of the world around us and give it meaning. We do this through how we receive information through our senses – what we think, feel and do about our experiences. We create and make up our mental world (Frith, 2007). By doing this, we engage in making up and explaining the world to ourselves and our attempts to understand other people (Bailey, 2012). Attribution is central to the way we go about discovering causes and effects (Kelly, 1967). Like intuitive scientists, we make attributions about ourselves, our interpersonal relationships and the world around us (Heider, 1958).
