Answer:

Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann's "spiral of silence" theory contends that a. most individuals are reluctant to speak out against dominant opinion.

Explanation:

According to Noelle-Neumann's theory, society can isolate members who express opinions that go against what the majority seemingly believes. The fear of being isolated can, therefore, cause an individual or a group to remain silent. In that case, people who believe they are speaking on behalf of a large, strong group, are more vocal. On the other hand, people who think their own opinion is losing power will speak less and less. Eventually, the perceived minority will end up conforming or pretending to conform with the majority's opinion.

Informed consent means that:_______.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

b) subjects agree to participate in a study after receiving complete information about the nature and purpose of the study.

Explanation:

In research, the term informed consent refers to the process in which researchers get a voluntary agreement from participants of the study where they state they are willing to participate on it.

This consent involves informing the subjects about their rights, the procedures they will undergone to, the purpose of the study and the risks and benefits they might have. However, in this consent the researchers do not disclose the hypothesis of the study because this might put in risk the results of the study (since participants might change their behavior due to this).

Therefore, the correct answer is that informed consent means that b) subjects agree to participate in a study after receiving complete information about the nature and purpose of the study.
