LITERATURE REVIEW As per the view of Argyle, (2017) social psychology is considered as factors that influence feeling, behaviour. It is thescientific field that develops understanding about nature of individual's behaviour and their social situations. When individual interactwith others then they make their feeling for the person. Attribution theory is considered as one of the most important socialpsychology theory that explains individual's behaviour. This theory states that there are several causes that impacts on attributes of thehuman being. There are many people those who takes support of folk psychology for understanding their goal, desires. It emphasis oninterpretation of certain events and develops interlink between behaviour and thinking of the person. According to Alfano, (2016) cognitive dissonance theory is another social psychology theory that looks at the cognitiveconsistency of individual. But it is self regularities aspects because people get influence by the factors in which they feeluncomfortable. If they are not satisfied with any particular event then their behaviour can get influenced by the other factors that cansatisfy them. This situation gets arisen in the place when person is in the aversive state where individuals holds many cognitions thatare contradictory with each other. This theory describes consequences of inconsistency that influence behaviour, feeling of the person.Erez and et.al., (2015) argued that drive theory explains about internal motivational factor that boost the person to reachtowards their own goal. There are two main drives that impact on feeling of the person. Primary drivers are related with basic needs ofthe person such as food, water, oxygen etc. On other hand secondary drivers are such elements those which are secondary priority ofthe human being but influence the person. These are such as money, intimacy etc. For example if the person is hungry then individuallooks towards food that can meet with their hunger needs and can satisfy the person. On other hand Abelson, Frey and Gregg, (2014)1
