Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research covered in the text suggests that if Mollie's date violates her script, she will view the relationship less positively. This means her expectations have not been met, and it could create a sense of disappointment or distrust towards her date. Mollie is also unlikely to appreciate the unpredictability, as scripts exist to create a sense of predictability and order in social situations. Mollie may change her script in the future, but this is not guaranteed and depends on her personal experiences and preferences. Finally, it is possible that Mollie will not go on the date if her script is violated, but this is not the only or best answer as it depends on the specific violation and Mollie's individual decisions.
