Question 2

Eileen is reluctant to go out for the school soccer team. Her parents want to enhance her self-confidence about becoming a successful soccer player. Keeping the concept of attributions in mind, the best thing the parents can say to Eileen is:

a. Some people are just naturally good soccer players, and we've seen signs that you're probably one of them.
b. The game of soccer is largely a matter of luck. Some days are good ones and some days are bad. You just never know how things will go.
c. Skill in soccer is totally a function of how hard you work at the game.
d. You have some natural athletic ability, and practice will make you even better.
