Self-criticism can be a constructive mechanism of self-improvement and self-reflection, but it also can be very destructive. In the age of social media, we constantly have access to other peoples lives and can not help but to compare. It is all good, until this analyzing becomes more agressive towards one self. For example, 'oh, they are vacationing at such a nice place' goes to 'I am so stupid, I can never earn so much money to afford such a vacation'. Not everyone have a highly developed self-esteem, then this self-criticism becomes hard to handle and can even turn into constant anxiety and even depression. One of the most prominent self-criticizing has to do with the self-image or appearance. People want to look good and also stand out. This balace is hard to achieve. Sometimes people go as far as immitating the 'idol' or the person they think looks perfect. By self-criticizing you are almost denying your personal traits, and wanting to look like someone else. It all comes down to self-acceptance and controling your self-criticizm. If you try to look at yourself more objectively, you will have healty self-criticism that will help you improve.
The correct answer is: "The elites use their payoffs to stay in power."
Firms constantly seek to hire as cheap as possible. The less amount they pay in terms of salaries, the greater will be the margin of profits, as the calculation will be profit= revenue - costs, being salaries one fraction of the costs.
This mechanism produces an increase of the inequality gap. Workers get lower salaries and firmowners and directives keep on rising the amount of profits generated by their businesses, and in turn, their payoffs also grow. This trend creates elites.
A <u>double-blind experiment </u>allows researchers to identify the specific effects of the independent variable from the possible effects of the experimenter's and the participants' expectations about it.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The double-blind experiment is conducted to ensure that the results of the experiments are not biased. The double-blind study states that the person who is implementing the experiment and the person involved in the experiment are not aware of each other. So there will be no bias in the experimental treatment.
The reliability in the double-blind experiment is improved. Under this experiment unintentional tipping off the study participants and biasing of the evaluation results by the researchers can be avoided.
