Research Participants Are Shown a Videotape of a Police Officer

Research participants are shown a videotape of a police officer from City X talking with relish about harassing people he dislikes and describing how he beats confessions out of his suspects. Half the participants (group 1) are told that this officer is a typical member of the department, and the other half (group 2) are told only that he is an officer in City X's police force. The participants are then asked to judge the brutality of City X's police force. What does research on the representativeness heuristic suggest?

A) Group 1 will judge the force to be much more brutal than will group 2.
B) Group 2 will judge the force to be much more brutal than will group 1.
C) Both groups will judge the force to be quite brutal.
D) Neither group will judge the force to be very brutal.
