Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An optimist who has just been awarded her company's organizational citizenship award is likely to attribute the success to her internal qualities (such as her hard work and dedication), consider these qualities as stable over time, and perceive that they have an impact in various domains of her life (global). Therefore, the set of attributions that best characterizes this individual is internal, stable, and global (choice C). The other answer choices are less fitting because they either emphasize external factors (A and D) or suggest that the optimist's qualities are unstable (A and B) or specific to the current situation (D), none of which aligns with the optimistic and self-enhancing mindset of someone who receives a positive recognition.
