Scenario I
Scenario I is based on and presents data from the following study (reproduced from p.25 of the textbook):
Piff,P.K. ,Stancato,D.M. ,Côté,S. ,Mendoza-Denton,R. ,& Keltner,D.(2012).Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior.PNAS Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America,109(11),4086-4091.doi:10.1073/pnas.1118373109
Piff and colleagues (2012)used naturalistic observation techniques to determine if wealthy people behaved more or less ethically than people who were not wealthy.In one study,observers stood at a busy intersection and recorded the make,model,and year of each approaching car.They also noted if the car cut off other cars or pedestrians at this intersection.
Major findings of Piff et al.(2012)are presented in Figure 1.1.This figure shows the percentage of times vehicles cut off another driver (top panel)or pedestrians (lower panel)as a function of the social status of the vehicles (with more expensive cars ranked higher in social status).
Figure 1.1
(Scenario I)The researchers who conducted this study are MOST likely to be _____ psychologists.
A)cognitive-behavioral
B)social or cultural
C)humanistic
D)industrial-organizational

Piff and colleagues (2012)used naturalistic observation techniques to determine if wealthy people behaved more or less ethically than people who were not wealthy.In one study,observers stood at a busy intersection and recorded the make,model,and year of each approaching car.They also noted if the car cut off other cars or pedestrians at this intersection.
Major findings of Piff et al.(2012)are presented in Figure 1.1.This figure shows the percentage of times vehicles cut off another driver (top panel)or pedestrians (lower panel)as a function of the social status of the vehicles (with more expensive cars ranked higher in social status).
Figure 1.1
(Scenario I)Based on the results shown in Figure 1.1,it is NOT known if:
A)people driving higher-class cars were less likely to yield to pedestrians.
B)drivers in general were more likely to yield to another car than to a pedestrian.
C)wealth caused people to care more about themselves than about others.
D)wealth was associated with selfish driving behavior.
wealth caused people to care more about themselves than about others.
