Answer:

external cause

Explanation:

Elaina is showing a common phenomenon in social psychology:

the attribution to external causes, which means that she assigns the cause of a happening to situations that are external to her, and rather than assessing her performance in terms of her inner characteristics.

She could have also <em>expressed how her feelings and state of mind at that time played a part, but instead, she is making external attributions, like "judges being unfair by giving her all harder words".</em>

The attribution theory in social psychology see how people try to point out to more causes that are in the surroundings or external, and often this influences their motivations and behaviour.

If people make inferences why others behave in a certain way and they refer to the outside then, we speak of external causes.

Social perception and self-perception can have internal, external causes and often we are advised to seek motivations in any of these ways.

What are the three factors that contribute to volunteer bias? *
mezya [45]

Answer:

Three factors that contribute to volunteer bias are: 1) privileges of the study participants and 2) having high energy and 3) being vested in the survey or research question.

Explanation:

Volunteer bias refers to the kind of bias that happens when volunteers are not likely to represent the general population.  Volunteers may be more likely to be unemployed for example or they might be more likely to be women.  It has been noted that project volunteers also tend to be high in agree-ableness and they are open to new experiences in terms of their personalities.  This presents a problem when researchers want their same to be a general representation of the population. We should also consider the characteristics and lifestyles of those who decline from participating or who do not volunteer to really get a sense of the general population.

DedPeter [7]

This student is developing his critical thinking skills. These consist on analyzing facts in an objective manner and on developing a judgement from that. It also involves the constructions of self-elaborated arguments using an own and personal set of criteria, discipline or monitoring processes.  

It is a type of learning which is becoming increasingly important in high schools in recent times, as it is a crucial tool for developing the necessary knoweldge that kids would need to cope, today and in the future, with the needs (personal, social, and working life ones) of the 21st century society.
