Context refers to the circumstances or setting in which an event occurs that can influence perception and behavior.
Situational Attribution: This is like analyzing why a character acted a certain way based on the scene - it's attributing someone's behavior to their environment or situation rather than their personality.
Social Norms: These are like stage directions for actors - they're unwritten rules about how to behave in particular social contexts.
Cultural Context: This is akin to the historical period of the play - it refers to the values, attitudes, beliefs, orientations, and underlying assumptions prevalent among people in society.
