  • Q6
    What most accurately describes Leon Festinger’s results in his classic experiment on cognitive dissonance?
    Festinger asked participants to complete a boring task and rewarded them with either a large amount or a small amount of money for completing it. Those who received a large amount of money were more likely than those who received a small amount to rate the task as enjoyable.
    Festinger was unable to draw any concrete conclusions from his study because he used only correlational data.
    Festinger was unable draw any concrete conclusions because the amount of money given as a reward was a confounding variable in the study.

  • Q8
    One of the most common criticisms of Stanley Milgram’s studies of obedience is that
    the sample sizes were too small to be able to draw accurate conclusions because he used only 40 participants
    Milgram should have debriefed his participants after the study was conducted because he used deception
    it was difficult to say what Milgram actually found because he did not operationally define his variables
    the results were generalizable to only one group of people because he used only men in his study
    they were unethical because they were extremely stressful to the participants

  • Q9
    Philip Zimbardo designed his Stanford Prison Study in order to test the validity of two hypotheses. The first was the dispositional hypothesis; the second was the situational hypothesis. The dispositional hypothesis stated that some people have certain character traits which lead them to naturally be more aggressive and distrustful of authority. These people can be thought of as having a prisoner personality. Other people have character traits in which they enjoy having control or authority over others. These people can be thought of as having a prison guard personality. The situational hypothesis stated that the situation the people were in determined their behavior. Which of Zimbardo’s hypotheses was supported by his study and why?
    The situational hypothesis, because because randomly assigned participants took on the characteristics of prisoner or guard depending on how they were assigned
    The situational hypothesis, because randomly selected participants took on the characteristics of prisoner or guard depending on how they were selected
    The dispositional hypothesis, because because randomly selected participants took on the characteristics of prisoner or guard depending on how they were selected
    The dispositional hypothesis, because participants were allowed to choose their role of prisoner or guard
    The dispositional hypothesis, because because randomly assigned participants took on the characteristics of prisoner or guard depending on how they were assigned
