question 27
when adeline plays a good round of golf, she congratulates herself on her skill, but when she has a bad day, she blames the course conditions. this illustrates:
○ the illusion of control
○ the egocentric bias
○ false consensus
○ the self-serving bias

Explanation:

For Question 26:

Supplication is a persuasive tactic where a person presents their own inadequacy or inability to complete a task to get someone else to do it. Geoff frames himself as unskilled and at risk of harm to ask his wife to sew on the button, which matches this behavior.

For Question 27:

The self-serving bias is the tendency to attribute positive outcomes to internal, personal factors (like skill) and negative outcomes to external, situational factors (like course conditions). Adeline's behavior aligns perfectly with this definition.

Answer:

Question 26: Supplication
Question 27: The self-serving bias
