Ralph is expressing a (c.) dispositional attribution

people who use Dispositional attribution will always rationalize an individual's behavior as a result of that individual's internal characteristic.
In this case, ralph believes that his neighbor's son reckless behavior is caused by the reckless characteristic that the boy have.
