M: I see you still got all your suitcases with you too. We must have the same problem.
W: Let me guess. Your room's been given to someone else?
M: Yep.
W: I don't get it! They sent me my room number a long time ago.
M: Me too. Well, at least there is room in another dorm, Bundy Hall.
W: That's where they're putting me too. But you'll realize that unless you have a car, Bundy is at least at 25 minutes walk from the center of campus. And don't count on taking the campus bus, it runs at really inconvenient time.
M: Great way to start your college career. But, I don't know, maybe there is a positive side of all these. Since we'll be so far away from everything, we'll be forced to use our time wisely.
W: True. I've heard lots of first year students get into trouble because they hang out every day in the student center till it closes.
M: Exactly! And not only that, we will get plenty of exercise from all that extra walking.
W: Yeah. And that is not exactly easy walking either. Around here you just about need a pair of hiking boots, and to enjoy mountain climbing.
M: You count to get avoid there. But at least there are great vistas from some of the buildings, not to mention the possibility of some serious sled riding when it snows.

M: One of the most common questions we ask about people's behavior is why. Why she say this? Why he do that? Sometimes the reason is obvious, for example, someone is driving down the street, the light turns red, they stop, why?
W: Because they have to, legally I mean.
M: Exactly! In this case the reason is obvious, so we usually don't question it. But when the reason is not so obvious and especially when the behavior could have negative consequences, we'll more likely to feel a need to explain the causes of the behavior. Social psychologists have a term for this, for the process of explaining the causes of behavior, it's called causal attribution. And one theory suggests, there's a pattern in the way we go about attributing causes to people's behavior. According to this theory, there are two categories of reasons: internal factors and external factors. Again, Lisa, say you're driving down the road and all of a sudden some guy turn into the lane right in front of you, and you have to slam on your brake to avoid an accident. How do you react?
W: I'll probably get very angry.
M: Because....
W: Well, he's not paying attention, he's a bad driver.
M: So you automatically attribute the driver's behavior to an internal factor. He himself is to blame because he is careless.
W: So if I said it was because of heavy traffic or something, I'd be attributing his behavior to an external factor, something beyond his control.
M: Good. Now how do you usually explain our own negative behavior?
W: We blame external factors.
M: That's right.
