Which of the following is an example of an internal attribution for failure ?
Answer: B
The internal attribution is 'I failed the test because I didn't study enough.'
In attribution theory, an internal attribution explains an outcome by something within the person, such as effort or ability; an external attribution explains it by outside factors. Not studying enough is a cause within the student, and it is also controllable, which is the healthiest attribution for failure because it suggests that more effort can change the result.
A tough grader, a biased teacher and distracting friends are all external causes, placing the reason for failure outside the student.
