Pavel was admitted to the hospital with what appeared to be a cardiac emergency. Being a person who typically ignored his diet and felt the exercise he got in his construction job was adequate, he was suddenly terribly worried about his condition. When he overheard his doctor telling the medical team something about his galloping heart rate, Pavel felt encouraged that his heartbeat was strong and that he would recover. Later, when the crisis was over, Pavel's doctor told him how close he had been to death—his heartbeat had been exceptionally rapid, which was a major warning sign.
Which of the following theorists on personality is most likely to have attributed Pavel's recovery to his expectation of a positive outcome?
A. Freud
B. Rotter
C. Bandura
D. Mischel
