---------------- ---------------- states that we have a tendency to explain someone’s behavior in terms of their personality and disposition (internal), or in terms of the situation (external)
○ attribution theory
○ formal operational
○ psychosocial stages
○ fundamental attribution error

Explanation:

The question asks about a theory related to explaining behavior via internal (personality/disposition) or external (situation) factors. Attribution theory focuses on how people attribute causes to behavior, distinguishing between internal and external attributions. Formal Operational is a cognitive development stage, Psychosocial Stages relate to Erikson’s development theory, and Fundamental Attribution Error is a bias within attribution theory (overemphasizing internal factors). So the correct option is Attribution theory.

Answer:

A. Attribution theory
