As good consumers of psychology, we must be aware that not all vivid cases of mental illness—such as when a high school student

shoots fellow students and teachers or when a person goes on a public shooting spree—are committed by truly violent people. Social psychologists say that a(n) ________ exists in that we believe that all people with mental illnesses are violent, which is not accurate.

Answer:

The options are given below:

A. discriminatory regulation

B. heuristic

C. illusory correlation

D. foot-in-the-door model

The correct option is C. illusory correlation

Explanation:

In the field of psychology, illusory correlation refers to the phenomenon in which people perceive a relationship or connection between variables even when such relationship or connection do not exist. Oftentimes, people tend to attach a particular behavior or actions to a particular set of people, for example, when a person believes that people who live urban environments are rude. This belief will make the person think that every rude person they meet, lives in the city, rather than a rural area.

Therefore, in the scenario given above, where people assume there exists a relationship between violence and mental illnesses, when in fact, there is none, we say it is an Illusory Correlation.

Likely rule against Mark.

Mark and Charles had an oral agreement over a few years and nothing was put into writing. This would trigger the statute of frauds, wherein certain types of agreements are required to be memorialized in writing.

This means that there is a situation in which two people are having to be taken at their word. On top of that, the agreement was made while they were impaired.

If a court didn't rule against Mark at the outset, there would be an investigation into whether the agreement was enforceable, how impaired they were, whether anyone else heard them, and what the historic uses were but there isn't enough time for a prescriptive easement or adverse possession. But this is likely a summary judgment case based on statute of frauds.
