In which situation is a student wrongly mixing goal, identity, and behaviour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Considering oneself always incapable after low marks in one exam
A single low score is information about performance on one task at one time; it is not proof that the whole person is permanently incapable. Option A incorrectly turns a result into a fixed identity and may reduce motivation. The other options keep performance, behaviour, and future improvement separate by focusing on causes, practice, or progress.
