Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This observation is an example of external attribution because it attributes the success of the presentation to external factors, such as the assistance of a friend and the user-friendly PowerPoint program. Internal attribution would have focused on Brian's personal characteristics or abilities as the reason for the successful presentation. Positive attribution and attribution toward others are not relevant in this context.
