Answer to Question 1

FALSE
Explanation: According to attribution theory, the more consistent a behavior, the more we are inclined to attribute it to internal causes.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: C) Consistency in a person's actions means that the person responds in the same way to the same situation over a long period of time. For instance, an employee who has not been late for several months is perceived differently from an employee who is late two or three times a week. The regularly late employee demonstrates high consistency in tardiness.
