The complete question is:

Jo is an honest and straightforward person. She believes her employees are all similarly honest and straightforward, ignoring signs that they may be manipulating her. What perceptual shortcut is Jo most likely using? a. prototypingb. contrast effect c. halo effect d. stereotyping e. projection

Answer:

Projection

Explanation:

Psychological projection is an unconcious impulse where an individual projects his personal traits on others. It can be a positive projection or a negative one.

So in this instance Jo is straightforward and honest and believes those around her are also honest. In this way she is ignoring signs of dishonesty that indicates she is being manipulated.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": projection.

Explanation:

Perceptual shortcuts are quick, subjective conclusions individuals make when observing objects or events and comparing them to past experiences. The past experience is given more value than the current. The projection perceptual shortcut takes place when individuals assume that others have a similar personality than the individuals'. That point of view is mostly distorted.
