Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jana's attribution of her success to her own hard work and effort shows an internal locus of control, meaning she believes her successes are the result of her own abilities and actions. The other options do not fit the scenario as well - external locus would mean attributing success to factors outside of one's control, stable causes implies a consistent cause of success (which is not necessarily the case here), and uncontrollable causes would suggest that success was due to factors beyond Jana's control.
