Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What is attribution?
Model answer
Attribution is the reason a performer gives for the outcome of a performance. Performers attribute success and failure to different causes.
- 2
What is Weiner's model of attribution?
Model answer
Weiner's model classifies the reasons for success and failure along two main dimensions. The dimensions are locus of causality and stability.
- 3
What is the locus of causality?
Model answer
The locus of causality is whether the cause lies within the performer or outside them. Causes are internal or external.
- 4
What is the stability dimension?
Model answer
The stability dimension is whether a cause is fixed or likely to change. Causes are stable or unstable.
- 5

Ability is internal and stable. A performer's skill level does not change quickly.
