Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rashad's different feelings towards missing the meeting with his professor and with the car salesman suggest that his appraisal of the action was different in the two situations. He likely placed greater importance on meeting with his professor and considered it a more significant responsibility, hence feeling guilty about missing it. On the other hand, he may have considered the meeting with the car salesman as less important or not his responsibility, thus not feeling guilty about missing it.
