Question

Recall that Festinger and Carlsmith paid participants either $1 or $20 to tell someone that a tedious, boring task was really very interesting. Participants who were paid modified their original attitudes the most because they had for lying. $1; little external justification $20; extensive external justification $20; minimal external justification $1; little internal justification Question 10 1 pts Which of the following inconsistencies is likely to create the most dissonance and therefore the most negative arousal? Michael, who perceives himself to be an understanding parent, hollers loudly at this son for a small mistake Jesse exceeds the speed limit while driving on the highway and is given an excessive fine Leslie really want to arrive on time but gets caught in traffic and shows up late fon work Andrew forgets his umbrella at home on a day that heavy rain was forecasted. Question 11 1 pts A researcher sent letters to several hotel managers asking whether they would let a room to a Chinese couple. The responses he got back from them was an overwhelming 'no', in contrast to his own experiences traveling with such a couple who was allowed to check into all the same hotels surveyed. The study illustrates that Our attitudes do not always predict our behavior Behavior is a predictor of our explicit, but not implicit, attitudes Our attitudes toward different groups of people can change very quickly Decision-making using attitudes is usually correct

Explanation / Answer

Question 9: $20; extensive external justification for lying (Option 2). This is because those who were paid such a large sum of money were motivated to alter their attitude to show consistency in their behavioral pattern (and portray their actions and attitudes in a more positive light).

Question 10: The answer would be the case of Micheal, who perceives himself to be an understanding parent but holers loudly at his son for small mistakes (Option 1). I choose this option because, in case of the others, there are no behavioral inconsistencies as such.

Question 11: The answer is that behavior does not always predict our attitude (Option 1). The conclusion of the study what people say they would do was very different from how they would actually behave.
