What's ironic is that in my studies of psychology (working toward my fancy degree), I studied (and published about) "Learned Helplessness," a phenomenon where outcomes are not continent on your responses, and you ultimately give up. More ironic is that I'm actually having a decent month on MyLot, in spite of the problems with the site. If I can find it, I'll post a link to one of my articles on Learned Helplessness. Just read the "Abstract" and see if it makes any sense. To get to the whole article, they're going to want to charge you, I think At least it appears I've learned from my own research, and have a tendency to "not give up" in the face of failure. Are you good at "keeping on keeping on," and not giving up or becoming discouraged in the face of failure? That's the bottom line.

I think when dealing with computers and trying to learn new programmes/methods you soon learn to just keep on trying until you manage to get where you want to be.

This is the same error that we are getting from the beginning of May, nothing new. Alex knows, Bugs knows, more or less we all have the same problem, just refresh the page a few times and you are in business.

@TheHorse Alex asked to avoid to discuss this kind of matters and send to him a PM when we get problems. I did, I also sent an e-mail, I know that JJ did the same, we can only wait.

I had to look up Attributional Style Questionnaire to understand what you are talking about! But I think I get it now. I hate those type of questionnaires though, the questions are too vague, they always leave you saying 'Well, it depends...' For example 'You meet a friend who compliments you on your appearance. What is the cause?' Well, it depends on when they met you - whether it was first thing in the morning when you had rushed to catch the bus without looking in the mirror, or whether they met you on the way back from the hairdressers, or whether you were at a party, or working in the garden in your old clothes, or washing the car or cleaning the drains, or whether you had been ill and now are much improved... See what I mean? These questions are open to interpretation in far too many ways.

Yep, when I get a question to which the answer is "it depends," I generally answer toward the middle. I'm glad you took the time to look up the ASQ! By the way, a most excellent professor of mine at UCSB taught is that statistically, and in terms of research design, when you have to say "it depends," it means you have what's called an "interaction effect." This may (or may not sound like Greek to you), but my study was a 2 x 2 design. ASQ scores (self-blaming v. not-self-blaming) x social interaction with confederate (pleasant or unpleasant). We got the predicted interaction effect. Do people become slightly depressed and show negative nonverbals after an unpleasant social interaction? IT DEPENDS on their ASQ scores! Self-blamers do. Non-self-blamers do not.
