attributions of responsibility.

Explanation:

attributions of responsibility occurs when some people transfer the 'blame' of a certain condition from one person to another.

From the sample above, Peggy blame the companies for making people addicted to the product. By having this belief, Penny disregard the fact that those people who consume the product is equally responsible. They have the free will to stop using the product, and yet they choose not to.
