Question

Philip is having an argument with Roger about a job assignment for which they are both responsible. Philip, who spends much of his leisure time playing violent video games, is suspicious of Roger’s behavior because he believes Roger will react violently to the conflict. Which of the following effects is most likely responsible for Phillip’s behavior? A. aggressor effect B. victim effect C. appetite effect D. hostile expectation bias
