Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The element of attribution theory represented in this scenario is locus, which refers to whether the cause of an event is internal (within the individual's control) or external (beyond the individual's control). In this case, Gwen is attributing her dissatisfaction to the other customers present, which is an external factor beyond her control.
