“Evaluate Kelley’s Co-Variation Model Of Attribution” The co-variation model of attribution uses the idea that all people analyse behaviour and search for causes of it in a similar way to a scientist. The model introduces the theory that when observing behaviour‚ people will process a cause by identifying the factor with the highest co-variance to the behaviour. This is achieved by collecting three sets of information‚ these being consistency‚ distinctiveness and consensus. When consistency is low
