Question

When good things happen, Lara takes credit for them, believes that the good things will last, and that they will favorably affect other aspects of her life. What kind of explanatory style is Lara using___________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is - Optimistic

Explanation:

Explanatory style is the way in which we explain the events that happen to us in our lives, either good or bad. There is the pessimistic explanatory style and the optimistic explanatory style.

The optimistic explanatory style are characterized by explanations for negative outcomes as being due to unstable, specific and external causes  so we do not blame ourselves 100% for things that go wrong, and that the negative events will end soon and they would not let it affect too many aspects of their lives. While positive outcomes are seen as being due to stable, global and internal causes.

Lara is using optimistic explanatory style therefore she tends to have more positive explanatory style as she takes credit for positive experiences, believes that the good things will last and they will favorably affect other aspects of her life.
