Question

In the context of social psychology, identify a true statement about intuitions.

Answer 1

Answer: A

Explanation: Intuition is a process that gives an individual the ability to have direct knowledge or insight without evidence from observations or analytic reasoning. It is also referred to as the "gut feeling". It is usually described as the bridge between reason and instinct as well as the conscious and subconscious parts of the mind.

Many individuals rely greatly on their intuitions, even going so far as making decisions or taking actions which go against all reason which is why intuition can be both powerful and sometimes perilous as observed in option (a).
