Recall That Hamill, Wilson, and Nisbett Conducted a Study on Factors

Recall that Hamill, Wilson, and Nisbett conducted a study on factors that influence attitudes.The researchers first assessed each participant's attitude toward welfare.In one condition, participants read a vivid story about a woman who exploited the welfare system and "lived like a queen" at taxpayers' expense.In another condition, participants were given statistical information about welfare.In a third condition, participants were given both types of information (i.e., the vivid story and the statistical information) .Finally, each participant's attitude toward welfare was measured a second time.Results showed that

A) participants' attitudes were not influenced by the conditions in the study.
B) participants were equally likely to change their attitudes in response to the vivid story and the statistics.
C) participants were more likely to change their attitudes in response to the vivid story.
D) participants were less likely to change their attitudes in response to the vivid story.
