Answer:
The correct answer is Increase and Increase. During late adolescence people show an increase in agreeableness and an increase in emotional stability.
Explanation:
Adolescence is an age between 18 to 24 years. Late adolescence means near the age of 24, which is considered as the young adulthood. This is the age where frequent changes occur. These frequent changes may include the change in life, home, family, work, resources, roles, etc. During the late adolescence or early adulthood, it is observed that people show more agreeableness and emotional stability towards almost everything. Their decision making power becomes firm and they can take good decisions about themselves during this age. The careless and carefree period of early adolescence has gone and now the agreeableness and emotional stability has taken the place and the people are observed to be more mature during this age.
Political scientists elisabeth gerber discover that citizen groups are most effective at sponsoring ballot measures whereas business, trade associations and professional associations are more effective at lobbying state legislatures. In addition, the administration process act and negotiated rule-making act play significant roles in introductory up the bureaucratic process to interest group impact by cheering federal agencies to consult affected interests or investors.
Critical thinking could be used in this example to actively engage with the proposition and propose an alternative or another proposition. Maybe in my own life experience I've known women who drive better than man, so I already have first hand example of how this is a misbelieve, but in order to prove this i have to go a step further.

Skepticism should refrain us from making statement from things we don't know yet. The proposition is a generality and thus already tell us that is a prejudice, but moreover when we are talking about things without having knowledge is a good scientific practise to step back and know the argument before speaking.

Objectivity is what we should aim when examine datas and proposition. Once we have the data, we could objectevely tell if this proposition respects the truth or not. Some importance should also be given to the motivation and the qualitative data, and not only the raw quantitative data, as reading and analyse only one type could lead to more misunderstading.

Curiosity is what we should always bring to the table in everyday matter. In the proposition, we could step back and ask why this is a well consolidates rumour, or why are the reasons behind this saying. Curiosity should be the driven to explain the world in a more complex and rich way comparing to the way other people may live.

Other examples of proposition that could be examine by the scientific approach are almost endless. "Women are not good at STEM fields" for example, or "Men generally are more qualified leaders". It is possible to argue that every proposition could be examine in a scientific approach, and maybe we all should do it so.
