Answer:

A. Jack is making a(n) <u>internal attribution</u> about his girlfriend's behavior, whereas John is making a(n) <u>external attribution</u>.

Explanation:

An internal attribution refers to a situation in which <u>an individual uses a personal reason to explain the outcome of a situation</u>. For example, a specific behavior is the result of the person's personality.

On the other hand, an external attribution refers to the situation when <u>the individual attributes a result to an external situation or environmental factor</u>, not to the person's characteristics. For example, when you fail an exam and you blame an external factor, such as the teacher or the weather.

In this case, <u>Jack is making an internal attribution</u> about his girlfriend's behavior because he thinks she broke up with him because she is selfish; whereas <u>John is making an external attribution</u> because he thinks his girlfriend broke up with him because she had a family emergency to attend.

What are the Importance of Ideology​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Ideology is an important factor in determining how people make decisions.  In order to make good decisions, you have to have an open mind to all of the potential solutions for the issue under consideration.

 Based on a composite of about ten different definitions that I could find, ideology can best be described in one sentence as a set of opinions, beliefs, theories, or principles (usually political or religious in nature) held by an individual, group, or society that explains and lends legitimacy to their actions in their own minds.

However, ideology is much more complicated than this.  And ideology has nothing to do with intelligence.  It is more like a set of glasses through which we view the world.  And being nonideological is somewhat different than being pragmatic, which means dealing with issues practically or realistically, although some amount of pragmatism certainly goes into making good decisions.

What was one of the problems the early country faced when dealing with foreign countries? What was the solution? *
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

One of the biggest problems was that the national government had no power to impose taxes. To avoid any perception of “taxation without representation,” the Articles of Confederation allowed only state governments to levy taxes. To pay for its expenses, the national government had to request money from the states.
