Question

Sally made a 65 on her first science test. She was annoyed by this grade and blamed the teacher because he was a lousy science teacher. The next science test Sally was pleased with her grade of 98. She attributed her good grade to her intelligence and proficiency in science. Which attributions did Sally make for her first exam and for the second? a. controllable; uncontrollable b. stable; unstable c. internal; external d. external; internal

Answer 1

d. external; internal

Step-by-step explanation:

After the first science test, she attributed the reason of her bad grade to an external source: the teacher's competence.

After the second test, she attributed the reason of her good grade to an internal source: herself, her intelligence and her proficiency in science.

Was she right? I don't think so... because if the teacher was the cause of the failing of the first test, how come the same teacher produced a whole different result on the second test?
