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.
