In a Study by Gilbert and Colleagues (1988), Participants Were

In a study by Gilbert and colleagues (1988) , participants were shown a video of a nervous-looking woman discussing various topics. It was explained to half the participants that she was discussing anxiety-provoking topics, while the rest of the participants thought she was discussing pleasant topics. Finally, half the participants were randomly assigned to complete a cognitively draining task while they performed the study. What were the results?

A) Those participants who completed a cognitively draining task were more likely to assume that the woman was a nervous person when they thought she was discussing pleasant topics.
B) Those participants who completed a cognitively draining task were equally likely to assume that the woman was a nervous person regardless of what they thought she was discussing.
C) Those participants who did not complete a cognitively draining task were more likely to assume that the woman was a nervous person when they thought she was discussing anxiety-provoking topics.
D) Those participants who did not complete a cognitively draining task were equally likely to assume that the woman was a nervous person regardless of what they thought she was discussing.
