Answer:This is an example of suggestibility

Explanation:

Suggestibility occurs when someone makes a suggestion that seems reasonable enough to be true eventhough it may not be true we may find ourselves inclined to use that suggestion in order to bridge the gap in our own memories as we try to remember the information about the same situation.

One of the eyewitness yelled the blue shirt when the bag was snatched it is very likely that others believe he must have seen the person so they all use this suggestion as they testify and that is the effect of suggestibility

Marina CMI [18]

(This question was incomplete but i found the complete question on the internet, and it's the following:

Jordan and Doris are teenagers who live near six other teens. All eight of the teens tried out for the high school play, and all but Jordan and Doris were rewarded with a part in that play. Though Jordan and Doris were bummed about not getting a part, they were more upset by the behaviors of the other six teens. It seemed that all of the students in the play formed a strong bond and sense of togetherness. They did not want anything to do with other students who were not in the play. Because of that, Jordan and Doris rarely see the other six teens from the neighborhood anymore. According to research in social psychology, which of the following is TRUE?

A) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

B) Doris and Jordan are part of the in-group.)

Answer:

The correct answer is A.) Jordan and Doris are part of the out-group.

Explanation:

In psychology, in-group and out-group reffers to the psychological identification an individual has as being or not a member in a social group, when the individual is part of the in-group he feels identified as being a member and on the contrary when is part of the out-grop the individual doesn't feel identified by it. In Doris and Jodran's case they are clearly part of the out-group because they don't feel identified anymore with the group because of the play situation, and cause them to rarely see the other teens.
