O The experimental group saw the experts ratings before tasting the jams, whereas the O The experimental group tasted a different set of jams than the control group Which of the following statements accurately describes the ratings made by the participants in this experiment? The jam rated best by the control group was rated worst by the experimental group. O The experimental group gave every jam higher ratings than the control group. O The ratings differed, but the overall ranking of the five jams was the same for the control and experimental groups O The jam rated second best by the control group was rated fourth best by the experimental group. Wilson and Schooler state that analysis "changed people's minds about how they felt" in this experiment. Which of the following thought processes is consistent with this assertion? They focused on largely the same set of attributes that experts did but weren't experienced enough to translate their analysis into a numerical rating O They developed an initial rating after tasting each jam and focused on attributes that could justify that rating. They focused on attributes that were detectable but not necessarily relevant to liking, then altered their opnion so that it matched their analysis. O They explicitly compared each jam against the others and assigned ratings based on a relative rather than an absolute scale. up

Explanation / Answer

1. Option 2 is the correct response. This is because the study tested the effect of reasons on final decisions. So they asked the experimental group of students to give reasons for each of the brand of jam they chose while they did not ask the control group to evaluate such attributes.

2. The ratings differed between the two groups but the overall ranking for the five brands was similar.

3. The second option is the correct answer, the participants in the experimental group rated and then focused on the attributes that could justify their ratings.
