Answer:

1. Situational

2. Personal/dispositional

Explanation:

First, we have to remember that there are different kinds of attribution:

  1. Situational attribution: it attributes the behavior to an event or outcome which is outside and escapes the person's control: weather, traffic, etc.
  2. Personal/dispositional attribution: it attributes the behavior to something that the person can control, this means, personal factors like personality, abilities, etc.

Colin suggests that the caterer is probably delayed because of traffic (something external) and Erin thinks the caterer is disorganized and unreliable (internal/personality).

Therefore, Colin is making an situational attribution, whereas Erin is making a personal/dispositional attribution.
