Post by: JavierSand on May 4, 2017
Explain each of the following situations in terms of attribution theory.
   a. After a history of school failures, Marcus eventually stops trying to do well.
   b. A fifth-grade teacher gives her class a difficult mathematics test, and many of her students fail it. She tells her class that she will give them a different test over the same material tomorrow. Many of the boys in the class say they will go home and study again. Some of the girls say that they already studied once, but it didn't do much good, so why bother?
   c. Samantha's mother helps her study for a spelling test on Tuesday and a vocabulary test on Thursday. Samantha passes the spelling test and is quite proud of herself. She fails the vocabulary test and blames her mother for not helping her enough.
