Solution

  1. Given that the situation has Low Consensus and Low Distinctiveness, but High Consistency, you can make an Internal attribution. This is because the professor's behavior (yelling) is consistent (happens regularly), but it is not a common reaction among other professors (low consensus), and it is not a reaction that the professor shows in different situations (low distinctiveness). Therefore, it is likely that the yelling is due to the professor's personal characteristics rather than the student's behavior.

  2. If there was High Distinctiveness, High Consensus, and High Consistency, you would make an External attribution. This is because the professor's behavior (yelling) is consistent (happens regularly), it is a common reaction among other professors (high consensus), and the professor shows this reaction in different situations (high distinctiveness). Therefore, it is likely that the yelling is a justified reaction to the student's behavior rather than due to the professor's personal characteristics.
