How do you decide someone’s motive for doing something? It has been found that most people first try to figure out if the person acted as a result of internal or external causes. Harold Kelly gave three criteria for answering the internal-external question; which two of them are listed below?

Consistency, fault
Mind-set, distinctiveness
Unusual, consensus
Consistency, consensus

Explanation

Answer: D - Consistency and consensus are the two criteria listed in this question (the third is distinctiveness). When all three are high, Harold Kelly says we tend to make external attributions, but when consensus and distinctiveness are low and consistency is high, we tend to make internal attributions.
