Question 2

Research by Rudman and her colleagues (2007) suggests that implicit attitudes are rooted in ________ experiences, whereas explicit attitudes are based in ________ experiences.

Accepted Answer

Rudman and her colleagues found that implicit attitudes are based in childhood experiences, while explicit attitudes are based in present experiences. This suggests that our early experiences and learned associations can have a strong influence on our implicit attitudes, which may be outside of conscious awareness. Meanwhile, our explicit attitudes are more likely to be based on current experiences and cognitive processes.

Question 4

People are most likely to form behaviorally based attitudes when the initial attitude is ________ and there are no ________ justifications for the behavior .

Accepted Answer

When the initial attitude is weak or ambiguous, people tend to form their attitudes based on their behavior rather than their pre-existing beliefs. Additionally, if there are no external justifications for the behavior, people are more likely to attribute their behavior to their attitude. This is known as the self-perception theory.

Question 5

Explicit attitudes are ________, while implicit attitudes are ________.

Accepted Answer

Explicit attitudes are conscious and voluntary while implicit attitudes are involuntary and may even be unconscious.

Question 7

Which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

The statement "I guess I like junk food, because I'm always eating it" reflects a behaviorally based attitude because it is based on the person's own actions (eating junk food) rather than their thoughts or emotions about it. The other statements reflect cognitively based (B), behaviorally based (A), and affectively based (D) attitudes.

Question 8

Winnie suddenly left the bar when Adam asked for her number. She realizes afterward that she must really have disliked Adam because of the way she behaved. By inferring her attitude from her observation of her behavior, she has a(n) ________ attitude.

Accepted Answer

Winnie's behavior of leaving the bar when Adam asked for her number suggests that her attitude towards him is behaviorally based, as it is based on her past experiences with him and her observation of his behavior towards her.

Question 9

In a recent study of implicit attitudes by Rudman and her colleagues (2007), people who were close to their mothers and whose mothers were ________ tended to have more positive implicit attitudes about overweight people.

Accepted Answer

The study found that individuals who were close to their mothers and whose mothers were overweight tended to have more positive implicit attitudes about overweight people. This suggests that personal relationships and the characteristics of significant others in our lives can influence our implicit attitudes.

Question 10

People tend to be less aware of their ________ attitudes, which are more likely to influence behaviors they are not monitoring.

Accepted Answer

Implicit attitudes are unconscious and automatic, thus people are often not aware of them. These attitudes can have a strong influence on behavior, particularly in situations where people are not actively monitoring their actions or decisions. Explicit attitudes, on the other hand, are consciously held and can be easily self-reported.

Question 11

Oliver is participating in a research study of implicit attitudes. He was an overweight child but is a healthy-weight adult. If his results are similar to the participants in the study by Rudman and her colleagues (2007), he will have a ________ implicit attitude about overweight people.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Oliver is participating in a research study...

Question 12

Explicit attitudes influence our behavior when ________, while implicit attitudes influence our behavior when ________.

Accepted Answer

Explicit attitudes influence our behavior when we are monitoring our behavior and making conscious decisions. In contrast, implicit attitudes influence our behavior when we are not monitoring our behavior and making unconscious decisions. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it reflects this contrast between explicit and implicit attitudes.

Question 14

Which of the following best illustrates an implicit attitude?

Accepted Answer

An implicit attitude is an unconscious attitude that influences our feelings and behavior. Option B best illustrates an implicit attitude as it describes a subtle discomfort or unease that Randi experiences around her lesbian friends, which may be an unconscious bias towards homosexuality. The other options, such as checking off an opinion on a survey questionnaire (Option A), forming an opinion after watching a movie (Option C), and interracial marriage (Option D), imply conscious attitudes or decisions.

Question 15

Which of the following is most closely related to the notion of behaviorally based attitudes?

Accepted Answer

Self-perception theory proposes that individuals infer their attitudes from observing their own behavior. This is closely related to behaviorally based attitudes, which are attitudes that are based on past behavior rather than solely on cognitive beliefs or feelings.

Question 16

In a recent study of implicit attitudes by Rudman and her colleagues (2007), people who were overweight ________ but were not overweight ________ tended to have more positive implicit attitudes and negative explicit attitudes about overweight people.

Accepted Answer

The study found that people who were overweight as children but were not currently overweight tended to have more positive implicit attitudes and negative explicit attitudes about overweight people.

Question 17

Lenoir is taking a test to see if she's prejudiced toward elderly people. Because it's difficult to assess her implicit attitudes, she's most likely

Accepted Answer

The Implicit Associations Test (IAT) is a measure often used in research to assess implicit biases or attitudes that people may hold towards certain groups, such as the elderly. This test is designed to measure the speed and accuracy of participants' responses to different associations, which can reveal subconscious biases that may not be captured by self-report measures like surveys or structured interviews. Therefore, Lenoir is most likely completing the IAT to assess her implicit prejudices towards elderly people.

Question 18

Daryl Bem's self-perception theory suggests that we form attitudes about an object based more on our ________ toward that object than our ________ toward that object.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Daryl Bem's self-perception theory suggests that we...

Question 19

Jane is asked what kind of computer she prefers. She says, "Well, I always seem to be working on a Macintosh, so I guess I like them best." In this case, Jane's attitude appears to be

Accepted Answer

Jane's attitude is behaviorally based because her preference for Macintosh computers is influenced by her frequent use of them, suggesting that her behavior (using Macintosh) is shaping her attitude.
