In a Study by Mettee and Aronson, Subjects Whose Self-Esteem

In a study by Mettee and Aronson, subjects whose self-esteem had been temporarily lowered were more likely to cheat at a card game than subjects whose self-esteem was temporarily increased. According to Aronson, the results of this study suggest that:

A) low self-esteem reinforces the belief that cheating is worth the risk of getting caught
B) high self-esteem reinforces the belief that cheating is worth the risk of getting caught
C) behaving in an immoral fashion is more dissonance arousing for people with high self-esteem than for those with low self-esteem
D) behaving in an immoral fashion is less dissonance arousing for people with high self-esteem than for those with low self-esteem
