The book used for this essay is Principles of Psychology. ISBN 13: 9781946135209 This is a short essay assignment with a mixture of multiple-choice/short answer and essay questions that cite evidence or research to explain/support your answer. Your essay answers must be in your own words with paraphrasing properly source credited. Quotes in lieu of answering in your own words will not receive points. Please submit your responses as a Word document (.docx file). Make sure to number your responses so your instructor will know where one response ends and the next starts. It is not necessary to rewrite each question in your document. For multiple choice questions, CLEARLY indicate your response (a, b, c, or d) so that your instructor does not have to search and try to determine your response in your short answer explanation. Each response is worth 20 possible points. Please see the attached Rubric for the grading schematic that will be used to evaluate your responses. Your responses should be approximately one-half page each (double-spaced) for a total of three pages (not including Title and References Pages if you choose to include them). Week three essay questions (Ch. 1, 5, and 6) Ch 6 Consider a time when you or someone you knew engaged in self-handicapping. What was the outcome of doing so? Do you think that you have a more positive or a more negative attributional style? How do you think this style influences your judgments about your own successes and failures? Ch 5 3. Consider some of your attitudes toward people, products, or other attitude objects. Are your attitudes strong or weak? Are they determined more by affect or by cognition? How do the attitudes influence your behavior? 4. Consider a time when you acted on your own attitudes and a time when you did not act on your own attitudes. What factors do you think determined the difference? 5.
