Fifty years after the publication of The Psychology of Interpersonal Relations ( Heider, 1958 ), attribution inquiry remains strong, but no longer dominant. This article examines some of the people (particularly, Fritz Heider, Edward Jones, and Harold Kelley), publications, and conceptual issues that contributed to the duration of this line of work. Personal anecdotes are included
