Adam Ritter · Answer 1

Answer: A. low on distinctiveness

Explanation:

According to the attribution theory people look for the cause and explanation that happened to them. This can be related to their success or failure. People give credit for the success to themselves and for the failure to others.

The person becomes less distinguishing about who was responsible for the success and failure in one's life this is the feature of low distinctiveness for determining the external causes are responsible for one's suffering.
