Grace Norris is a 50-year-old housewife who recently selected Chrysler's PT Cruiser as her new car. To some extent, she selected the car because it is practical and has ample storage space for groceries and other items she gets on her many shopping trips. On the other hand, she also confesses that she selected the car because of its "bad boy" image. "It looks like a gangster car from the 1930s," said Grace. "It says 'don't mess with me,'" she tells her friends. Grace is exhibiting ________ in her selection of a car.
A) gestaltism
B) symbolic consumerism
C) symbolic interactionism
