16: An example of an internal attribution for someone's behavior is

   A: the weather is rainy and depressing today

    Incorrect.
The weather is something in the external environment; therefore, it is not an internal attribution, so choice A is incorrect.  According to Heider's Naive Psychologist conceptualization of attribution, the weather being rainy and depressing today is an external unstable attribution (for more information, see p. 80 in Myers and your lecture notes.).
