Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) You are likely to make an internal attribution about your coworker's behavior because you perceive the reason they are late is within their direct control. Your observations tell you that when they are in charge of managing their time they are late, but when the clock says the workday is over, they are never late to leave. You are likely to make an internal attribution that they are lazy or that they don't care about their job. The consistent pattern of behavior helps rule out environmental factors; their tire can't be flat every day before work, when returning from lunch, and on the way to meetings.
