Answer: an internal, or dispositional attribution

In an internal attribution, a person (like Isabella) concludes that an event (her boyfriend being late in meeting her) or a person's behavior is due to factors such as personal traits (unreliable and inconsiderate), abilities, or feelings and not because of other reason or situation (a meeting at work ran late).
