Selena and Haley go to a party on Thursday night and then do very poorly on their calculus test the next morning. According to the actor–observer effect, Selena is more likely to attribute her own performance to _____ and Haley's performance to _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1-"Sleep deprivation" (external causes) 2- Being poor at math (Individual characteristics).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Actor-observer effect can be understood as the tendency that individuals have to attribute their own actions and the outcomes of those actions to external factors or causes, and the actions and the outcomes of other people to internal causes such as personal characteristics, abilities and so on.

In this particular case Selena is more likely to attribute her own performance to external causes, in this case sleep deprivation, and Haley's performance to: being poor at math.
