Teaching Attribution Theory

Communication Teacher

Dr. John A. McArthur, Assistant Professor in the Knight School of Communication, had an article published in the January 2011 issue of Communication Teacher. The article, “What Happened? Teaching Attribution Theory through ambiguous prompts,” describes an interactive teaching activity to assist with instruction of the attribution theory in communication and other social science courses. The article includes step-by-step instructions for engaging a class in the activity and assessing their learning.
