Abstract(s)

In this article, the author claims that a harmful assimetry has been growing in Attribution Theory literature. This assimetry is characterized by a great multitude of empirical research and by a very scarce conceptual production. As an attempt to counter this state of affairs, the author provides a detailed analysis of the theoretical process of generation and development of Kelley's ANOVA model, criticizes it and presents two alternative Attribution models (Saspar's inductive Logical Model and present author's «Method of Differences» - based Model). The main insufficiences of these lines of work are also spelled out. Finally, the author tries to antecipate what steps are to be taken to overcome these insufficiences. Specifically it is argued that the commonsense process of explaining events should be viewed as a knowledge-based inference process and the lay attributor as an hypothesis tester.
