Answer 1

Answer no. 1: Internal attribution:

It refers to the process of assigning the behavior to some internal characteristic of a person (like laziness) rather than to external forces.

Answer no. 2: Bounded rationality

It is the form of decision making in which rationality of an individual is determined by limited information and time. Ariana's rationality is also limited by information, intellect and the small amount of time she has to buy the phone.

Answer no. 3: Confirmation bias

It is the tendency to search and interpret new information for the confirmation and strengthening of one's existing beliefs and information. The tendency to find like-minded news on Facebook or any other platform that strengthen our existing viewpoints would therefore be called confirmation bias

Answer no. 4: Foster and draw on internal motivation

1) We learn and collect new information

2) We decide what ideas and solutions that are the best

3) We realize that a problem or opportunity exists

4) We develop ideas and possible solutions to solve the problem
