Answer to Question 1

A related approach, known as attributional retraining (AR), has been successfully used for more than two decades to improve college students' academic achievement. The AR approach encourages students to use attributions of control (as opposed to attributions of no control) after poor academic performances. Studies indicate that AR generally leads to modest improvements in academic performance (Perry, Hechter, Menec, & Weinberg, 1993; Perry, Stupnisky, Hall, Chipperfield, & Weiner, 2010).

Answer to Question 2

Blame- internalizing or externalizing responsibility inappropriately. This thinking style involves blaming others for outcomes you are responsible for or blaming yourself for outcomes you had no control over. If I had gotten more hits, we would have won the game.. If you had gotten more hits, we would have won the game..
