Tom refused to accept Sam's input and change his attitude. Interestingly, the input provided by Sam further strengthened Tom's initial attitude. This is an example of a: <u>contrast effect</u>.
<u>Explanation</u>:
A contrast effect is the term used in psychology to explain the aggravation or decline, cognition or related performance as a result of consecutive or simultaneous exposure to a stimulus of lesser or greater value in the same dimension.
The type of contrast depends upon the how the participant considers a situation. There are two types of contrast effect. They are
i) Positive contrast effect
ii) Negative contrast effect
In the above scenario, Tom and Sam were discussing about the tax rates. Conflict arises between them when Sam objects Tom’s view on tax rates. Tom got aggravated and strengthened his attitude.

Answer:
Three measures of central tendency are mode, median, and mean. Mode is the most commonly occurring score in a distribution. Median is the middle score in a distribution. Mean or average is the sum of scores divided by the number of scores.
Normal distribution or symmetric distribution means half of the scores are above the mean and half are below the mean. I<u>n a normal distribution, mode, mean, and median are the same.
</u>
Skewed distribution means one tail of the curve is longer than the other. A positively skewed distribution has a long right tail. I<u>n this kind of distribution, mean, mode, and median are to the right of the peak.</u>
In the attached image, normal distribution, and skewed distributions are shown.
