This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Mavis believes that the girls from the nice neighborhood on the north side of town are all stuck-up and white. She has noticed a correlation between this group of girls and how they act above other people at the mall. Mavis's example of stereotypes and prejudice support the ________ theory.

a. ​motivational

b. ​learning

c. ​cognitive

d. ​dispositional

Answer:

Mavis's example of stereotypes and prejudice support the c. cognitive theory.

Explanation:

In cognitive theory, <u>behaviors are explained by understanding the mental processes behind them. </u>In other words, the focus is not on the behavior per se, but on the thought processes that led to its existence. <u>The example we are studying here seems to characterize an explanation from a cognitive perspective. Notice that Mavis's behavior is being explained through a tracking of her thought process - she has a certain stereotype for a certain reason. She is not being prejudice out of the blue, there is mental path that was taken. Mavis associated that group of girls and how they act above other people at the mall.</u>

Considering that iron has always been more common than gold, I don't think they would have first found it during what we now call "the golden age." It was probably more useful and impressive to them during the dark ages.

Analyzing eyewitness accounts of the Battle of Gettysburg is an example a qualitative research. a.) True b.) False
loris [4]

The correct answer is A) True.

It is true that analyzing eyewitness accounts of the Battle of Gettysburg is an example of qualitative research.

When historians do research and analyze this type of source, they want to get interesting and alternative qualitative information about what happened during that historical battle during the American Civil War.

Although the witness could have different interpretations of reality, these point of views serves the researcher to support his work.

The battle of Gettysburg was a bloody battle during the Civil War. The Union Army fought the Confederates under General Robert Lee's command. The battle was fought in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania from July 1 to July 3, 1863. Historians say that the number of casualties for the North was 23,000 and for the South, 28,000. The Union Army won the battle and it represented the beginning of the end of the Civil War.
