This research explores the degree to which people
feel their actions are responsible for their position
within society. By focusing on people s perceptions
of responsibility and contribution to events, I am
able to extend to scope of identity theory. I begin
by linking attributions to identity theory by arguing
that the perceived source of an attribution
significantly affects an actor s sense of self.
Results show that the perceived source of an
attribution affects one s sense of self and
psychological well-being. Further, I extend identity
theory by linking it to self-evaluation theory. This
latter theory when joined with identity theory helps
provide a partial explanation for why we see that
social change occurs slowly within society. These
data are explored with a sample of respondents who
resided in Los Angeles County during the year 2000.
