Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Choice C, "It's my fault," illustrates an internal attribution for a failure or setback because it places the blame on oneself rather than external factors such as circumstances or other people. This is consistent with the negative explanatory style, where individuals tend to attribute negative events to internal, stable, and global factors, which can lead to feelings of helplessness and low self-esteem. Choices A and D do not necessarily involve attribution, but rather focus on the temporary or pervasive nature of the setback. Choice B involves a global attribution, but not necessarily an internal one.
