The correct answer is C. Reference groups

Explanation:

In sociology which is the field that studies society and social structures, human groups can be classified into different categories including primary/secondary groups, out/in groups and reference groups. In the case of reference groups, this includes classmates, co-workers and any other peer that mainly works as a reference for the individual in terms of standard of measurements. Indeed individuals in reference groups observe others and behave according to other people in order to fit. This can be seen in the case presented as a student is in a basketball team and she has not received an academic award her peers had, which makes the student measure herself in comparison to others that are a reference and in the same way other students mock at her because she does not fit in the group.

Run a taste test. Compare Pepsi vs. Coke, or bottled water vs. tap, or an expensive bottle of wine vs. the boxed stuff. Discuss
yuradex [85]

Answer and Explanation:

I carried out the taste test with the members of my family, where everyone, with their eyes closed, had to taste pepsi and coke, tap water and bottled water, a bottle of expensive wine and a bottle of ordinary wine. After drinking from each pair, the participants had to express their considerations about each drink and say which was their favorite.

Regarding Coke vs. Pepsi the result was the most surprising. Among the 10 participants, 6 failed to recognize the products and chose pepsi as the drink that tasted the best. The surprising thing is that these participants had previously informed that they did not like Pepsi, which shows that the visualization of the product interferes with the reception of the product by the consumer.

Regarding tap water and bottled water the result was as expected. All participants showed preferences for bottled water, stating that tap water had a strong flavor from chemicals, such as chlorine, used in it.

Finally, the test with expensive wine and cheap wine had well balanced results and most participants were surprised by the taste of cheap wine, stating that they would drink again without any problem.

Inga [223]

The correct answer is empathy

Empathy means the psychological capacity to feel what another person would feel if they were in the same situation experienced by them. It consists of trying to understand feelings and emotions, trying to experience objectively and rationally what another individual feels.

Empathy leads people to help each other. It is closely linked to altruism - love and interest in others - and the ability to help. When an individual can feel the pain or suffering of the other by putting himself in his place, he arouses the desire to help and to act according to moral principles.

The ability to put yourself in the other's shoes, which develops through empathy, helps to better understand others' behavior in certain circumstances and the way someone else makes decisions.
