Question

According to the perspective presented in Chapter 3 (Social Cognition), a person who grew up in a home with an alcoholic parent who sees a man acting in a somewhat strange manner may be ________ likely to interpret this behavior as due to alcohol because of ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

more; chronic accessibility of an alcoholic schema

Explanation:

Social cognition studies the ways through which a person interprets social social situations.

A man who was raised in an alcoholic parent will see their parent strangely after drinking alcohol. This notion will be imprinted into his long term memory. The schema is the pattern associated with a act.

So, later on in the person's life any strange behavior might access his alcoholic schema and make him think that the other person is drunk.
