Scenario II
Scenario II is based on fabricated data inspired by the following study:
Tiggemann, M. & Zaccardo, M. (2015) . "Exercise to be fit, not skinny": The effect of fitspiration imagery on women's body image. Body Image, 15, 61-67.
Fitspiration and Body Image Study
Tiggemann and Zaccardo examined the effect of photographic images on a variety of psychological constructs. A total of 130 undergraduates were randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions. In the "fitspiration" condition, participants were presented images designed to inspire fitness. These images included men and women wearing fitness clothing and participating in physical activity with fitness-inspiring captions. Participants in the control condition were presented images of exotic destinations with descriptive captions of the landscape. Following the presentation of the images all participants completed surveys to assess mood, body dissatisfaction, and self-esteem. In addition, each participant also reported how inspired they felt from each photo.
-(Scenario II) Suppose Tiggemann came up with the hypothesis for this study after she spent an afternoon perusing "fitness" on Pinterest and became depressed. Of the four hypothesis-generating strategies described in your text, which did she appear to use?

• A) introspection
• B) exception to the rule
