Researchers Showed Rival Princeton and Rutgers Students Videotapes of Decisions

Researchers showed rival Princeton and Rutgers students videotapes of decisions made by a male character. Half the time the character was allegedly from the participants' university, and half the time, he was from the rival university. Participants then predicted what percentage of students at that university would make a decision similar to the target's. In support of their "out-group homogeneity" hypothesis, Quattrone and Jones found that participants viewed one person's behavior as predictive of his group when the __________.

A) target was a member of the rival school
B) behavior in the videotape matched stereotypes
C) target was a member of the participants' in-group
D) behavior in the videotape was negative
