Attribution is a broad term that indicates the concession of something to someone. That is, when a matter is attributed to a person, he must assume all the causes and consequences that carry what is assigned with him.
It is a basic term, which can be applied in any situation of daily life despite having a formal cut in some professions. Its use can be varied without taking away the essence of the verb you are looking for.
Analyzing the root of the word, the verb to attribute, we find words like apply, assign or grant as synonyms; then an attribution is something that is given to someone else, but that something is not seen as an object, but rather as a right, power, responsibility or faculty. In the field of law, this term is used to name the charges for which the person who is being tried is accused, in the same way that responsibilities are attributed to the people who are part of a work group to comply with their duties.
The social attribution is a theory that studies the members of a community which are subject to a number of situations to test their behavior and reactions within the organization. It is a theory of modern psychology that contemplates a method by which specialists evaluate the ability of human beings to relate to each other. Its name is due to the fact that each subject is attributed a certain behavior and this is carefully studied in order to determine the quality of the person's response to a particular position.
