She apologizes and says she will not do it again.

Answer:

c)low consistency resulting in an external

Explanation:

A) high distinctiveness resulting in an internal

B) high consistency resulting in an internal

C) low consistency resulting in an external

D) low consistency resulting in an internal

E) low consesus resulting in an internal

Consensus is the co-variation of behavior across different people. Distinctiveness refers to how unique the behavior is to the particular situation. Consistency is the covariation of behavior across time.

An internal attribution is the cause of someone's behavior due to internal characteristics of a person while external attribution is the cause of behaviour due to situations out of a person's control.

Jamarcus understands that Wanda has never been rude to a customer in her ten years with the company, thus there is a low consistency with Wanda's behavior. Jamarcus understands that this particular's caller behavior was indeed rude which influenced Wanda's negative reaction and the situation was out of Wanda's control therefore an external attribution.
