Question

individuals who believe that an unpleasant experience is unavoidable and therefore do nothing to change the course of events are exhibiting
a. self - actualization attributes
b. the fight - or - flight response
c. attributional deficits
d. cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

The scenario describes individuals who believe an unpleasant experience is unavoidable and do nothing to change it. Attributional deficits (or learned helplessness - related attribution patterns) involve attributing negative events to stable, global, and internal factors, leading to a sense of helplessness and inaction. Self - actualization attributes (A) are about personal growth, fight - or - flight (B) is a stress response of action, and cognitive dissonance (D) is about conflicting beliefs/behavior. So the correct option relates to attributional deficits.

Answer:

C. attributional deficits
