They both get payed, they both help the community, they both deal with pretty gross things as well.
This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:
A. response reinforcing
B. dissonance
C. balance
D. feedback
E. fear appeal
Answer:
In an attempt to use B. dissonance to convince people to stop smoking, government officials have proposed removing all brand identification from packs of cigarettes, replacing it with graphic images of damaged lungs and cancerous mouths.
Explanation:
It is natural for us to try to remain in a state of cognitive consistency in order to function mentally in the real world. Cognitive consistency is a state of harmony between our beliefs and our behaviors. On the other hand, <u>cognitive dissonance is the discomfort we feel when our beliefs and behaviors are not in harmony. That happens when we receive new information that goes against our previous belief.</u>
<u>By replacing brand identification with graphic images or damaged lungs, officials are trying to provoke cognitive dissonance in smokers</u>. Once they see the pictures and receive the information that smoking is the cause behind those diseases, they begin to question their own behavior. <u>Suddenly, smoking may feel less enjoyable, since they are aware that their actions are causing them to get sick.</u>
Humans, as we know, are wasteful. We do not take into account how much we pollute the planet with our lifestyles. In order to prevent pollution and waste buildup and resource consumption, we can still lead comfortable lives but use sustainable options for our daily needs.
Examples:
Reusable grocery bags, straws, and water bottles. Eco friendly razors. Naturally produced makeup. Solar power. Rechargeable batteries.
Anything that can last longer. However, as you read this, you might think “but isn’t this bad for companies since you are not making consistent purchases?” Yeah. But it is more efficient for our planet. Sadly, we do not know of these alternatives because we will be spending less and helping more. And companies want you to spend more and more. :(
Answer:
c) the emotional or neutral word list
Explanation:
In research, we usually have two different types of variables:
- The independent variable is the one that the researchers can control and that will have an effect on another variable.
- The dependent variable is the one that cannot be control and that is affected by the independent variable. Researchers observe this variable to see how it changes. This is the variable that will be tested or measured.
In other words, the independent variable has an effect on another one and it can actually be controlled by researchers.
In this example, Dr. Kang wants to examine the effects of emotion on memory. In other words, how emotions affect memory. He proceeds to hand a list of words with very emotional content to a group of subjects and a list of neutral words to another group and then measures how many words each group is able to remember. We can see that he thinks emotional words will have an EFFECT on emotion. Also, he can control this variable by handing different lists (emotional or neutral words) to each group. Therefore, this is the independent variable. ( c. the emotional or neutral word list)
