Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Greitemeyer's research found that prosocial messages had a short-term effect on prosocial thought, emotion, and behavior. Therefore, option B, "Prosocial messages had short-term effects on prosocial thought, emotion, and behavior," is the best choice. There is no evidence to suggest that the effects were long-term, and option A is incorrect because prosocial messages did have an effect on behavior. Option D is incorrect because there was a significant effect observed.
