Identify four different types of attribution proposed by Weiner’s attribution model and give a practical example for each type identified.

1) External/ Extrinsic - Weather/ Luck

2) Internal/ Intrinsic - Effort/ Ability

3) Stable/ Unchangeable - Task difficulty/ opposition

4) Unstable/ Changeable - Tactics/ Effort

Using this attribution theory, we can begin to understand why managers may provide an intrisic and unstable reasoning for a team victory. But opposingly we can see why managers may attribute a loss to Extrinsic and stable factors as if they use the weather as an attribution it allows the manager to protect his team self esteem and maintaining confidence levels
