A Father Helping His Son with His Homework Could Think

A father helping his son with his homework could think about his actions in terms of what he is doing (helping solve homework problems) or why he is doing it (being a helpful parent) . According to action level identification theory, the father will prefer to identify his actions

A) at the higher level of being a helpful parent because this explanation is more self-expressive and self-affirming.
B) at the lower level of helping solve homework problems because the level of action identification needs to match the task at hand.
C) at the lower level during the task to get the job done and at the higher level after the task to enhance the self.
D) at the higher level because the theory states that people have a self- serving bias that affects how behavior is explained.
