External factors can be, for example, coincidence, the difficulty of the
task, the teacher’s positive or negative attitude, etc., while internal fac-

Currently, the definition of success is influenced by the positive psy-
chology trends and leans towards the views of the humanist psycholo-
gists, who define success as an individual’s pursuit of self-actualization.
Rogers speaks of growth aspiration and Maslow of self-actualization
