Question

In her economics class, Nancy has been assigned to do a group project with Mario, whom she does not know well. Nancy’s friend Tia knows Mario from another class and tells Nancy about him. According to the primacy effect, Nancy will form the best impression of Mario if Tia describes him in which way?

Answer 1

Answer:

Intelligent, industrious, warm, impulsive, critical, stubborn.

Explanation:

Primacy effect can be defined as the tendency to recall the first few options of the long list than the options at the last.

In the primacy effect, the words at the beginning of the list are rehearsed and memorized more often than the later options which makes the person only able to recall the first few options from the long list.

The way of primacy effect in which Tia will describe Mario to Nancy will be by stating first the qualities of Tia as "intelligent, industrious, warm" and state negative qualities later in the long list "impulsive, critical, stubborn". In this way, Nancy will be able to recall first the good qualities of Tia than the negative qualities according to the primacy effect.
