Multiple Choice

Recall that in one study, the experimenter showed children a set of five toys and asked them how much they liked each one.Then, the experimenter told each child that he or she was free to play with any of the toys except for the child's second favorite toy.In the "mild threat" condition of the experiment, children were told that the experimenter would be "annoyed" if they played with the forbidden toy.In the "severe threat" condition, children were told that the experimenter would be "very angry" if they played with the forbidden toy, and that the child would never see any of the toys ever again.The experimenter then left the room, and each child was covertly observed.Later on, the experimenters asked each child to reevaluate the toys.Consistent with cognitive dissonance theory, results showed that

• A) children in the "mild threat" condition tended to view the toy less favorably than children in the "severe threat" condition.
• B) children in the "severe threat" condition tended to view the toy less favorably than children in the "mild threat" condition.
• C) children in the "mild threat" condition were less likely to play with the toy while the experimenter was away from the room.
