A defendant is charged with beating a victim to death with a set of brass knuckles during the course of a fight in a tavern. The

victim was found to have a pistol on his person at the time of the fight. During the course of the trial, the defendant took the stand in his own defense and testified that the victim threatened him with a gun and the defendant had hit the victim with the brass knuckles in self-defense. To rebut the defendant's claim, the prosecution wishes to place the bartender on the stand, who will testify that two years prior to the attack on the victim, she had seen the defendant approach a customer in her tavern from behind, put on a pair of brass knuckles, and strike the customer a severe blow on the side of the face with a brass-knuckled fist. The prosecutor, in accordance with local court rules, has apprised the defense attorney of the general tenor of the bartender's proposed testimony. As soon as the bartender is sworn in, the defense attorney raises an objection.
How should the court rule on the admissibility of the bartender's testimony?

A Admissible, as substantive evidence that the defendant did not act in self-defense in beating the victim.

B Admissible, to attack the defendant's credibility.

C Inadmissible, because prior bad acts cannot be admitted to prove the defendant's propensity to commit the specific crime with which he is charged.

D Inadmissible, because the defendant has not put his character in issue in this case.

In an approach–approach conflict, a person must choose between two or more goals that will lead to _____.
Kay [80]
The answer is a desirable outcome. In an approach-approach, the individual is faced with the necessity of making a choice between two (or more) desirable goals. Since both goals are desirable, this is the least worrying situation. "Shall I fly or take a boat to Europe?" might be easily determined if both means of travel are seen as pleasurable. Such situations produce a state of unstable equilibrium. As soon as one goal is approached, its desirability increases and completely dominates, thereby making the choice easy. The choice becomes easier the closer one moves toward either goal. Another example is when a person pick between two attractive and practicable careers, may lead to some indecisiveness but rarely to great distress. A person chooses the most convenient goal that results to a desirable outcome.

Give one advantage and one disadvantage of using parental reports to measure infant temperament. describe an alternative measure
Alex17521 [72]

One disadvantage of using parental reports to measure infant temperament would be that every child is essentially "perfect" in the eyes of their parent/guardian. They are not likely to see the flaws that others may be able to see due to the "rose colored glasses".

One advantage of using parental reports to measure infant temperament would be because they are around their children most often, for the most part. They know their child inside and out and can tell you if something is "off" or different about the child. They can give you an in-depth look about how their child's temperament is.
