Answer:

Availability heuristic

Explanation:

In psychology, the availability bias or availability heuristic refers to a bias that refers to the phenomenon by which people rely on the information that first comes to their mind (or that come to their minds more easily) in order to have an opinion about a subject. In other words, you rely on the information that first comes to your mind.

In this example, Dolores has moved to a big city and she has recently read about street crime in one of the city's neighborhoods, however she is more at risk of harm from reckless drivers. Since <u>she is relying in the information that first comes to her mind (since she has been reading about it) instead of the actual risk that there is in the city,</u> she would be using the availability heuristic.

In 1821 what was the problem mexican leaders had with texas
Anni [7]
 The rebellions that erupted throughout Latin America to overthrow Spanish colonial rule, left Mexico with an array of problems that touched upon events in the far northern Mexican province of Texas. Economically, the country faced devastation in 1821. It stood in marked contrast to the rich colony that had promised great potential towards the end of the colonial era. Money barely circulated. Once-rich mines struggled to regain their former efficiency. Ranches and farms were no longer productive. With the economy in shambles, thousands faced unemployment. Entire areas experienced depopulation as people sought out a livelihood elsewhere. Moreover, differences over class distinctions split the nation as the landed gentry, the military, and church officials sought the preservation of the antebellum order, wherein they ruled alongside government. Additionally, many of the country's new leaders had had little prior experience in governing.
