reattribution

Shifting the source

Reattribution is the act of assigning something to a different source or cause than previously believed.

In art history, a painting undergoes reattribution when scholars determine it was created by a different artist: The Rembrandt was reattributed to one of his students.

In psychology, reattribution therapy helps patients assign different causes to their symptoms or experiences.
