The answer is consistency. When consistency is low, it is difficult for the perceiver to attribute behavior to either the person or the stimulus; instead, the best that can be said is that the behavior was caused by transient circumstances.

EXPLANATION

Behavioral consistency is the tendency for people to behave in a certain way. They behave that specific way because of past behaviors or past decisions. Behavioral consistency eases decision making. It is easier for someone to stick into one decision and stay consistent with that decision. It is easier than to make a new decision every single time we are presented with problems.  

People that go out of the way to behave consistently will also feel more positive and good about the decision that they have made. Even if they faced evidence that decision they made was erroneous, they would still be more positive than the person who did not behave consistently.

Behavioral consistency can be used on both the social and individual levels. For example, when we make a resolution for the new year that we will go to exercise 3 times a week at 5 AM. Behavioral consistency is when you be consistent with your behavior to still go exercise 3 times a week at 5 AM even though you are tired with your day, for the rest of the year. If a person is being inconsistent, then they do not follow the new year’s resolution. If they are tired of having a hectic week, they skip exercising.
