Look again at possible reasons they won or lost their last game.  Split into one of the four categories:

• Internal stable (ability)
• Internal unstable (effort)
• External stable (task difficulty)
• External unstable (luck)

Look at the following Padlet:

Attribution Padlet

This is from one of my previous A-level classes.  Look at the reasons they wrote down, they have for the most part put them down as controllable, uncontrollable, short term or long term aspects.  Now you need to add in which of the four categories from above each reason they stated falls into.

The diagram below can be used to explain the attribution theory.  Using the diagram, aim to explain the attribution process, use examples that you have already looked at to illustrate your answer.
