Answered by Examlex AI CopilotAn individual with an optimistic explanatory style would likely explain a team's victory by attributing it to the team's hard work, determination, and skill. They may emphasize the positive attitudes and teamwork of the players, as well as the effective strategies and coaching that led to the win. They would likely see the victory as a result of the team's abilities and efforts, and believe that similar successes can be achieved in the future.
On the other hand, when explaining a team's defeat, someone with an optimistic explanatory style would likely focus on external factors rather than internal shortcomings.
