Attribution is a concept in social psychology. The attribution theory is a term for many models that explain the processes.
The fundamental attribution error is a cognitive bias where individuals tend to attribute people's behavior to internal traits instead of considering external factors. This can lead to overemphasizing personality and underestimating the influence of situational factors on behavior. It can create misunderstandings and impact relationships and judgments of others.

Internal Attribution: The inference that a person is behaving a certain way because of something about that person.External Attribution: the inference that a person is behaving a certain way because of something about the situation they are in.Internal attribution seems to discuss that a person's behavior is linked to the mind/personality of that person. External is the effects of the person's home life or the relationships they are in.
Attribution theory includes three main elements: locus of control (internal versus external), stability (stable versus unstable), and controllability (controllable versus uncontrollable). These elements describe how individuals explain the causes of events or behaviors, influencing their emotions and subsequent actions.
