Chris Received an Advertisement Requesting a Donation for a Program

question 12

Multiple Choice

Chris received an advertisement requesting a donation for a program to help troubled youths. He was sympathetic because his own childhood had been difficult. The ad had a line with spaces to indicate the level of contribution, with the first space showing $30, followed by $60, $100, then $500 (Gold Support) , and a final blank space to write in the contribution. Before Chris saw the level of contribution line, he thought, "I'll give $20"; after seeing the contribution line, he wrote in $25 instead on the blank space. He later regretted having given more than he had first intended. To avoid giving the higher amount, Chris should have:

• A) thought about other times he had contributed to charities and the amounts he had given before.
• B) focused more on what he could afford and adjusted downward from the anchor provided to induce people to contribute more.
• C) realized that his lack of knowledge about probability would lead him to overestimate how much he could comfortably contribute.
• D) realized that the vividness of his memories of childhood would make the higher amount more available in memory.
