00:01 Here we have to determine what the short -term result will be.

00:05 So in this case, we have a student who just doesn't understand the information.

00:12 So in the short term, right, this isn't going to relate to self -esteem, choice a.

00:21 Why? because self -esteem is how others view us.

00:25 So this outside view on our own selves from the point of others, that is characterized by self -esteem.

00:39 This is simply a look at oneself and how the student is saying that for themselves, they just don't understand the information.

01:22 Here, that's not necessarily going to be the result because, although, yes, it does look like there's some difficulty with the math, we're not seeing this external factor controlling our ability.

01:37 We're just seeing a difficulty with learning the math.

01:40 So it's more of an internal locus of control, but the external locus of control, that's not going to develop in the short term...
