Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "mean world syndrome" refers to the belief that the world is a dangerous and violent place, often caused by prolonged exposure to violent media. Therefore, choice C, "a mean world view," is the best answer. Choice A, "chance conditioning," is not a recognized term related to this concept. Choice B, "atypical stereotyping," is not a correct term either. Choice D, "the weapons effect," refers to the phenomenon where the mere presence of a weapon can increase aggression, but it is not directly related to the concept of mean world syndrome.
