Question

What level is this vocab 'dispositional'? Do you, a native speaker, use it oftentimes? How do you feel it? If a non-native English teacher uses that word in a test to help non-native students improve their practical English skills?

Well, I had to look it up in the dictionary, if that helps you.

Dispositional attribution is the explanation of individual behavior as a result caused by internal characteristics that reside within the individual, as opposed to external (situational) influences that stem from the environment or culture in which that individual is found.

AnonymousHow do you feel it?

I don't feel it, but it is probably common enough in its field, sociopsychology.
