Question

martinas car is dented in a minor accident. why cant people look where theyre going? martina may be failing to take responsibility for her role in the accident, best illustrating a self - serving bias. an internal locus of control. unconditional positive regard. reciprocal determinism.

Explanation:

Self - serving bias is the tendency to attribute positive outcomes to one's own character but attribute negative outcomes to external factors. Here, Martina blames others ("Why can't people look where they're going") for the accident (negative outcome) and fails to take responsibility for her role (not attributing to her own actions), which is characteristic of self - serving bias.
An internal locus of control is the belief that one can control one's own life and outcomes. But Martina is not showing this as she is not taking control (blaming others).
Unconditional positive regard is an attitude of total acceptance towards another person, which is not relevant here.
Reciprocal determinism is the theory that a person's behavior both influences and is influenced by personal factors and the social environment. This situation is more about attribution (self - serving) rather than the complex interaction of behavior, person, and environment as in reciprocal determinism.

Answer:

a self - serving bias.
