Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of modern concepts of attribution psychology. This paper compares the psychology of common sense by F. Hider, the correspondence attribution theory of E. Jones and K. Davis, the covariation model of G. Kelly and the folk concept of attribution of B. Malle. The principles and models of the concept proposed by B. Mallem are described. It is concluded that the folk concept of attribution opens up new perspectives in the study of the cognitive activity of the individual, points to the close relationship of this concept with the problem of social intelligence.
