An actress portrays a philanthropist in a TV series. In
each show, she performs an act of kindness toward a
downtrodden individual or group. The actress receives a
great deal of mail from fans who tell her what a fantastic
person she is because she is so willing to share her time and
wealth with others who are in need. The response of the
actress's fans illustrates which of the following.
Select one:
A. the ultimate attribution error
B. the fundamental attribution bias
C. the self-serving bias
D. the selectivity bias
,Correct Answer is: B
The fundamental attribution bias (error) refers to the
tendency of people to overestimate the contribution of
dispositional factors to an actor's behavior. In the
situation described in the question, the actress's fans
attribute her good deeds to her rather than to the role she
plays in the TV series. Ultimate attribution error is to a
whole group of people.
According to the "iceberg profile" developed by Morgan,
which of the following psychological characteristics
displayed by successful athletes is typically above the
general population mean?
Select one:
A. anxiety
B. anger
C. vigor
D. confusion
Correct Answer is: C
Through the use of psychological testing, Morgan (1978)
found that athletes scored significantly lower in negative
mental health traits such as tension, depression, anger,
fatigue and confusion, but significantly higher for vigor
compared to U.S. norms. He referred to the mood
characteristics of accomplished athletes as the "iceberg
profile." Morgan's presented correlation between exercise
,and a decrease in anxiety has been confirmed in
subsequent studies in both serious and recreational
athletes.

believes that he dances poorly would prefer to be told by
friends:
Select one:
A. You are a pretty bad dancer
B. You are not a bad dancer
C. You should become a professional dancer
D. nothing about dancing
Correct Answer is: A
Self Verification theory proposes that people need and seek
confirmation of their self-concept, regardless of whether
their self-concept is positive or negative. Thus, people
prefer to be right rather than happy. According to this
theory, a person who dances poorly would prefer to be told
so (assuming the other's evaluation matches the person's
self evaluation).

groups to make decisions that are
Select one:
A. more risky than those that might be made by
individual members.
B. more conservative than those that might be made by
, individual members.
C. more risky or more conservative than those that might be
made by individual members.
D. more illogical than those that might be made by
individual members.
Correct Answer is: C
A group's decisions tend to be more extreme (in one
direction or the other) than those that would be made by
individuals in the group acting alone. This phenomenon is
referred to as group polarization. One explanation for
group polarization is that group members are more willing
to support extreme decisions because, as group members,
they won't have to take as much personal responsibility
for their decisions as they would if they were acting alone.
