Question

a goal of research on ______ is to learn what types of judgments people make when they are not specifically asked to make judgments.
○ spontaneous inferences
○ the correspondence bias
○ gilberts model
○ the change-of-meaning effect

question 29 2.5 pts
suppose dr. rostoff finds that tv viewing and prejudice are related such that when tv viewing is low, prejudice tends to be low. what type of correlation is this? (think carefully)
○ positive
○ negative
○ basic
○ applied

Explanation:

1. For the first question: Spontaneous inferences focus on the judgments people form automatically without being explicitly asked, which matches the described research goal. The other options refer to specific biases, models, or effects that do not fit this definition.
2. For Question 29: A positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other also increases, and as one decreases, the other decreases. Here, low TV viewing links to low prejudice, which fits this pattern. Negative correlation would involve one variable increasing while the other decreases, and "Basic" and "Applied" are not types of correlation.

Answer:

1. Spontaneous inferences
2. Positive
