According to research, students who view academic success as a valued attribute are more likely to attribute their success to internal factors such as their own abilities and effort (e.g. "I'm smart and I worked hard"). External factors such as luck or a teacher's favoritism are less likely to be considered as valid reasons for success. Choice A ("The teacher likes me") would be more in line with a belief in external attributions while choices C ("The test was easy") and D ("I lucked out") would be considered luck-based attributions.
