Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question relates to the concept of attributions, which are the explanations people give for why things happen. If someone believes that a victim's problems are caused by their own laziness or lack of foresight, they are making an attribution about the cause of the problem. This attribution can influence their willingness to offer help. Therefore, the best answer is B - attributions. The other options (overjustification effect, self-concept, empathy) are not directly related to this question.
