How do we test our attributions• Distinctiveness – action occurs when the
product is present and does not occur when it is absent
• Consistency over time – the reaction would be same or almost the same
• Consistency over modality – The inference is the same even when the situation in which it occurs varies
• Consensus – the action is perceived in the same way by all consumers
