Question

Research suggests that internals

(1) ask fewer questions,
(2) are achievement oriented, and
(3) remember more information than externals.

Which statements are correct?
A) All three statements are correct.
B) Only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
C) Only statements 1 and 3 are correct.
D) Only statements 2 and 3 are correct.

Answer 1

Statement 3 is not necessarily correct as it depends on the individual and the context.

Step-by-step explanation:

Research suggests that internals ask fewer questions, are achievement oriented, and remember more information than externals. Therefore, statement 1 is correct. Additionally, internals tend to have greater motivation to achieve success and set high standards for themselves, which supports statement 2 being correct. However, it is not accurate to say that internals remember more information than externals as this can vary depending on the individual and the context. Therefore, statement 3 is not necessarily correct. The correct answer is B) Only statements 1 and 2 are correct.
