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>

Elza [17]

Answer:

Turkmenistan.

Explanation:

The Central Asian country of Turkmenistan had been rumored to impose a strict migration law that prevents or prohibits anyone below the age of 40 from leaving the country. This was done to ensure that the country is not deserted amidst the rise in prices and increased poverty.

The refusal to let Turkmen below the age of 40 from leaving the nation is a result of a huge increase in the number of people seeking residence in other nations. This left the country deserted and could even lead to the non-existence of anyone to farm and produce, even capable of crippling the economy. But even more so is the absence of any democratic government, with no free press with critic of the government ending in prisons.
