Assume that two students earn the exact same grade on the same test. Using attribution theory, illustrate how these two students might make completely different attributions for their performance. Label each of the three dimensions of attributions exemplified in your answer. Which student can best be described as having an incremental view of ability?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should properly explain how stability, locus, and control interact to create causal attributions, and should label those dimensions correctly in their example. It should also explain that incremental means that a student perceives ability as unstable yet controllable.
