Fourteen-year-old Jean-Claude, an avid video game player, reads a flawed study showing that video game players are smarter than most people. Then he reads a second study with similar flaws proposing that video game players are poor leaders. What would you predict will happen:
A. He would dismiss the findings of the first study and overlook the flaws in the second study.
B. He would now believe that video game players are poor leaders.
C. He would overlook the flaws in the first study and dismiss the findings of the second study.
D. He would now believe that video game players are both smarter and poor leaders.
The correct answer to this question is C. He would overlook the flaws in the first study and dismiss the findings of the second study.
Explanation:
In general, individuals tend to favor information that supports their points of view or preferences, this is a type of cognitive bias known as confirmation bias. Additionally, this is a type of bias because individuals do not consider objectively whether the information is accurate or reliable. This is likely to occur in the case of Jean-Claude because even when the studies are flawed it is likely he supports the first study that shows video game players are smarter. After all, this supports his beliefs and preferences. Moreover, he might dismiss the findings of the second study that is opposite to his preferences.
Adam Smith, a Scot and a philosopher who lived from 1723 to 1790, is considered the founder of modern economics. In Smith's time, philosophy was an all-encompassing study of human society in addition to an inquiry into the nature and meaning of existence. Deep examination of the world of business affairs led Smith to the conclusion that collectively the individuals in society, each acting in his or her own self-interest, manage to produce and purchase the goods and services that they as a society require. He called the mechanism by which this self-regulation occurs “the invisible hand,” in his groundbreaking book, The Wealth of Nations, published in 1776, the year of America's Declaration of Independence.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that an actual example of a random sampling procedure would be to Choose participants from the entire population of interest by putting all the names in a bowl, picking names one at a time until you reach 100, and involving as many of those 100 as possible.
This would allow you to choose the 100 participants by implementing the closes thing to true randomness as possible.
