Match List - I with List - II:

List - I	List - II
(A) Theory of planned behaviour	(I) Tajfel
(B) Theory of causal attribution	(II) Pettigrew
(C) Social identity theory	(III) Ajzen & Fishbein
(D) Contact hypothesis	(IV) Kelley

​

Correct option is D

The correct answer is Option 3: (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II).

The correct match of the theories with their corresponding researchers/authors is:

• (A) Theory of planned behaviour → (III) Ajzen & Fishbein: The Theory of Planned Behavior was proposed by Ajzen and Fishbein. It focuses on how attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control influence an individual's intention and behavior.

• (B) Theory of causal attribution → (IV) Kelley: Kelley’s theory of causal attribution suggests that people make causal attributions to explain others' behaviors based on three factors: consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness.

• (C) Social identity theory → (I) Tajfel:  Social Identity Theory was developed by Henri Tajfel and focuses on how individuals derive their identity from social groups, affecting intergroup behavior and prejudice.

• (D) Contact hypothesis → (II) Pettigrew: The Contact Hypothesis was developed by Gordon W. Allport and later expanded by Pettigrew, suggesting that contact between groups can reduce prejudice, particularly under favorable conditions.
