This document summarizes a workshop presentation on attributions of responsibility for economic situations during the 2005 German election. It discusses how people attribute responsibility, the determinants of those attributions like political sophistication and media usage, and presents data on changing levels of attributed responsibility over time and the effects of various factors. Logistic regression results show the impacts of individual economic situations, interest, partisanship, and an interaction between media usage and contextualization on attributions of responsibility.
