Answer:

The correct answer is: Cognitive dissonance.

Explanation:

The theory of cognitive dissonance was proposed by Leon Festinger and it states that the human beings have an innate tendecy to allign their attitudes and their behaviors.

For instance:

If a person strongly believes that infidelity is morally wrong but engages in it from time to time, the person is experiencing a dissonance.

The dissonance creates psychological tension within the person and the individual either changes the behavior (Stop cheating), or they modify the attitudes they have towards the behavior (There are worse things than being a cheater) for the dissonance to dissapear. In conclusion, they rationalize their behavior.

So the theory that claims that most people act first and then rationalize their behavior is called the cognitive dissonance theory.

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Evadne, a teacher at an elementary school is completing a rating scale for one her students. The teacher has often complained about the student to the school counselor, leaving a bad impression about the student on the school counselor. Which of the following rating scale errors is most likely to occur?

(a) Severity

(b) Negative halo

(c) Social desirability

(d) Response Deviance

Answer:

The best answer seems to be negative halo.

Explanation:

Negative halo is also known as reverse halo effect. Halo effect refers to a cognitive bias caused by a good first impression. It happens when we allow that first impression to influence our general opinion of a person. Negative halo is, therefore, the opposite, when we allow a first bad impression to permeate our thoughts and actions toward that person. In the situation we are studying here, it is very likely that the school counselor will be influenced by the unfavorable opinions he/she has heard from the teacher.
