You are a psychologist that studies self-esteem. You want to understand how low vs. high self esteem and success or failure contribute to whether people attribute the responsibility of the outcome to themselves. You measure self-esteem and divide people into 2 groups, low and high. Then, you ask half of the people about a time when they succeeded and half the people about a time they failed, and you measure attribution to the self for responsibility of the outcome.
Which of the following statements explain the interaction between Outcome and Self Esteem. Please be sure to read these statements thoroughly.
Tip: I recommend you think about what the interaction is here and write it down for yourself before trying to identify it here. Take your time and think about the variables and how they impact the DV score (attribution to self).
