She best illustrates a pessimistic explanatory style.
When someone attributes failure to do something to internal, stable, and global factors, this may often lead to depression because the person will think it is only their fault and that nothing can be done about it. This is why this is a pessimistic outlook on life. On the other hand, if the factors are external, unstable, and specific, this would be an optimistic explanatory style.
