telephone pole, you can attribute that unfortunate piece of behaviour either to internal or external
causes. You might conclude that the person is a terrible driver or emotionally upset, or you might
conclude that another car forced the driver off the road. If you fail an exam, you can attribute it
to internal causes such as stupidity or a failure of study, or you can attribute it to external causes
such as an unfair test or an overheated room. All in all, ________________________________.
