Which of the following questions directed to all participants would most help to validate or invalidate the hypothesis that the
objectivity of the study was influenced by participants' projections of their own self-concept onto the photographs?Is your partner of similar, greater, or lesser weight (BMI) than you?Would you be more professionally successful if you weighed less?Do you have family members who are of greater weight (BMI) than you?Are you aware of your own BMI?.
B. Would you be more professionally successful if you weighed less?
Explanation:
Projection of own self-concept refers to the act of rationalizing the condition that we face today based on our personal characteristics. Asking such question will force the participants to self evaluate themselves and make them able to relate the question with their personal experiences. Researchers could validate the hypothesis if the majority of the participants somewhat believe that there will be a connection between their weight and their success.
