Answer:

Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

The term Cognitive Dissonance was first introduced by Leon Festinger and it refers to what happens when a person has two or more contradictory beliefs or ideas and experiences psychological stress because of that. In other words, when two ideas are opposite to each other, the person will experience stress and will try to reduce this difference to reduce their discomfort. This usually happens when <u>new evidence contradicts the person previous belief and it creates stress</u> (cognitive dissonance).

Therefore, the state of conflict that someone experiences after taking an action, making a decision, or being exposed to information that is contrary to his or her beliefs is known as cognitive dissonance.

The colony of Pennsylvania was established by William Penn as a 'Holy Experiment'. It was given to him by the king in 1681, in payment of a debt he had to Penn's father. Amongst the other English colonies, Penn was the first leader of his colony that established peace with the natives. Then Penn made a peace treaty with the Leni lenape indians, and bought land from them. He hadn't needed to, but did anyways, and it was this act, as well as other kind acts towards the natives that formed peace between them. This also ensured a prosperous beginning for the new settlers of Pennsylvania, as the natives helped them with their crops, learning the way of the land and many such other useful things. Neither did they have wars that hurt the population

A multiple-choice test is a good example of a test of: recognition.

 
Recognition tests sees what a person has been taught before and allows them to pick the appropriate response to a question based on what they've learned previously. When you are picking from a list of choices, you are able to see various answers that could be correct but are expected to be able to decipher between them and chose the right one.
