The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although we have no options attached, we can say the following.
The step in the scientific method that Magnus refers to in this quote is the "Testing step."
When Magnus refers to the idea of " “We will give the correct view about comets and confirm it..." he meant that the idea was going to be tested to really make a confirmation statement about the validity of the theories.
The Scientific Method has five basic steps that every single scientists and researcher have to follow in their studies.
First, to make observations. Secondly, asks questions. Thirdly, draft a good and complete hypothesis. Then, make predictions based on the hypothesis. And finally, scientists have to test the predictions to confirm and validate.
Answer: the contestants and observers thought the questioners were more knowledgeable than the contestants.
Explanation: Ross et al published a paper in the journal of personality and social psychology in 1977 titled
"Social Roles, Social Control, and Biases in Social-Perception Processes". They demonstrated that our actions and perceptions are determined by roles we have to play in interpersonal encounters; this is the biasing effect social roles have on performance.
In this instance the observers and the contestants perceived the questioners as having superior knowledge as the questioners were given latitude in how they frame the questions. Due to their social roles, the questioners were "the powerful" while the contestants and observers were "the powerless" playing out their roles and not taking into account the biasing effect.
If the roles were switched around, the outcome would still be the same with each group irrespective of their actual ability and knowledge.
Answer:
C. ask Tony if he could give you a ride to the grocery store
Explanation:
<u>The Ben Franklin effect</u> (named after Benjamin Franklin and his quote "He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged") <u>is the psychological theory that proposes the person is more likely to adopt admiration towards us if they perform a favor for us than if we perform a favor for them. </u>
The explanation is that people usually help others because they like them, therefore if we do something for another person <u>our brain (due to cognitive dissonance) will switch to thinking that we liked them in the first place.</u>
This is why if we ask Tony to drive us and he agrees he might develop a liking towards us, thinking he did us a favor because of the admiration and his own attraction towards us.
