Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micah is considering Frederique's consistency in turning in the report early in the past, which falls under the consistency factor in attribution theory. Distinctiveness refers to whether the behavior is unique to the situation, consensus refers to whether others in similar situations would behave the same way, and vividness refers to how memorable the behavior is. None of these factors are explicitly mentioned in the scenario.
