Answer:misattribution; reasons-generated attitude change

Explanation:Misattribution occurs when we attribute certain situations to something which isn't related to them or when there is no relation between the two. This lead to making wrong attribution.

Reasons-generated attitude change

This occurs when we base our action on the attitude we feel at that moment because we believe our attitude is reasonable enough and easy to state.
