This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Evadne, a teacher at an elementary school is completing a rating scale for one her students. The teacher has often complained about the student to the school counselor, leaving a bad impression about the student on the school counselor. Which of the following rating scale errors is most likely to occur?
(a) Severity
(b) Negative halo
(c) Social desirability
(d) Response Deviance
Answer:
The best answer seems to be negative halo.
Explanation:
Negative halo is also known as reverse halo effect. Halo effect refers to a cognitive bias caused by a good first impression. It happens when we allow that first impression to influence our general opinion of a person. Negative halo is, therefore, the opposite, when we allow a first bad impression to permeate our thoughts and actions toward that person. In the situation we are studying here, it is very likely that the school counselor will be influenced by the unfavorable opinions he/she has heard from the teacher.
When you learn about the source of racist ideas, it helps you learn who you are. Personally, I have nothing against those with colored skin, or people from other areas. But believe it or not, there are actually souls out there that do. I think that people who have nothing against them are right. They just have different skin color, religion beliefs, etc.
Those innocent people did nothing to us, so why do we treat them in such a way..? There is nothing more hurtful than being judged by your skin color. So treat others the way you want to be treated and be kind to them. Respect everyone even if they did something to you. I think that this way, people have a different viewing of you. :) Thanks
Treat others with respect and make this world better :P
Answer: D. Searching the internet, conducting interviews and asking the reference librarian.
Three of the best ways that should be done in order to gather ideas in a writing project is to do both intensive and extensive research, interviews are also great sources of information and of course, you need a librarian for an effective and efficient research.
