Answer 1

By assuming that a young-looking teenager who appeared to be driving recklessly was one of those defiant, careless and irresponsible teenagers who don't deserve a license, Danica just made an internal or dispositional attribution.

Internal or dispositional attribution occurs when an individual makes judgments about the actions of an individual or of himself based on psychological causes, such as Danica who attributed characteristics to the teenager in relation to the way she was driving.

Therefore, the internal attribution is one whose dispositional explanations are emphasized to justify an action based on the individual's personality.
