hospital and she was there all night, so she had no time to study. This is an
example of a attribution

Answer 2

Answer: External or situational attribution

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of attribution is due to the fact that external factors interfere with the person's behavior. In Marissa's case, her grandfather was the one in the hospital and that caused her to not be able to study since she was with him in the hospital. If it were her that she was in the hospital being ill it would already be an internal attribution.
