Suppose That You and Your Four Roommates Decide to Get

question 8

Multiple Choice

As a result, the dog rarely gets fed, only goes on walks occasionally, and has never once made it to the vet. In short, he is neglected, and he ultimately ends up costing you thousands of dollars in emergency room bills (which could have been avoided had you taken him to the vet early on) . Social psychologists would say that the dog is a victim of ____.

• A) the commons dilemma
• B) overpersonalization
