The Results of the First Experiment Conducted by Kenrick and Gutierres

question 4

Multiple Choice

The results of the first experiment conducted by Kenrick and Gutierres supported their hypothesis. However, one alternative explanation could not be completely ruled out: The subjects who were watching Charlie's Angels may have been more generally negative in their judgments toward women than control subjects, due to differences in personality, background, or some other unknown characteristic. To control for this in Study 2, Kenrick and Gutierres:

• A) had all subjects complete a full battery of psychological tests designed to detect differences in personality.
• B) assigned subjects to experimental conditions on a "matched sample" basis; that is, they made sure that the subjects in the experimental and the control groups were as much alike as possible.
• C) used subjects who were watching a television show other than Charlie's Angels.
• D) manipulated exposure to media beauty by using different attractiveness stimuli and randomly assigned subjects to experimental conditions.
