Answer:

The correct response is Option B: A death-deferral phenomenon.

Explanation:

The study results regarding death deferral and Christmas suggest that people held off on dying until after Christmas because this is an important family holiday and it is suggested that people hold off on dying on such days. There has also been an examination of data regarding the death-deferral phenomenon regarding birthdays. There seems to be an association with fewer people dying in the six months leading up to their birthday than the six months after their birthday. These patterns, however, are hard to prove as being the result of a person's will to live in a systematic way.

Andrew [12]

Answer:

option A. that aggression can be learned through classical conditioning

option B. the distinction between learning and performance

Explanation:

The experiment shows the  exposure of  children to two different adult models which are an aggressive model and a non-aggressive one. the deduction was that the children who observed the non-aggressive adult model would be less aggressive than the children who observed the aggressive model while the non-aggressive exposure group would also be less aggressive than the control group. the conclusion drawn from the experiment shows that when Children  are consistently exposed to the violent mode, they will tended to imitate the exact behavior they had observed when the adult was no longer present.

The results of the experiment  also shows that rewards or punishment don't influence remembering or learning information, they just influence whether or not the behavior is performed.

Dr. Sanderson is curious as to whether exposing people to violent video games causes them to be more aggressive. She assigns hal
jekas [21]

This outcome would be known as a <u>ceiling effect.</u>

In psychology, the ceiling effect is when a test establishes a range too low for measuring certain variable, that is to say, is when the upper limit (ceiling) of the test is too low, inadequate and not enough for the participants that the test is evaluating.

In this case, the participants are supposed to respond differently since some played violent video games for 5 minutes and other group played for 25 minutes. Since the outcome was that the majority were rated as "very aggressive", it's an indicator that they weren't tested adequately: the range was low, and therefore, it made it easier for some participants to get the score "very aggressive".

Which statement is true regarding postformal thought? Group of answer choices Postformal reasoning is universal across cultures.
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Ultimately, few adults demonstrate reflective judgment.

Explanation:

Famous pyschologist Jean Piaget described postformal thought  as more versatile, more rational, more inclined to consider moral and intellectual complexities, and more logical than previous developmental stages. Postformal thought  has to do with recognizing that there are inconsistencies in the world around us. Two of its main characteristics are relativistic thinking and dialectical reasoning.

Ksenya-84 [330]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Timothy, a brilliant investment banker, makes millions each year. He is not very good-looking, but he marries a beautiful, young supermodel. In the context of physical attractiveness, Timothy and his wife most likely exhibit ________ in this scenario.

A. asset matching

B. the ingratiation effect

C. the spotlight effect

D. the mere- exposure effect

Answer:

Timothy and his wife most likely exhibit A. asset matching in this scenario.

Explanation:

Asset matching is a phenomenon observed by psychologists in matching hypothesis. The matching hypothesis concerns the preference individuals display to form relationships with those who resemble them. Resemblance can come in a variety of attributes, such as age, education level, social status, ethnicity, personality traits, values, physical appearance, etc. Asset matching happens because people tend to select partners whose assets are similar to their own. Timothy and his supermodel wife are both wealthy people, which characterizes their selection of each other as asset matching. That wouldn't be the case, however, if Timothy had married a working class woman.
