A group of 500 individuals who identify as belonging to the Republican political party were contacted by a pollster. The 500 individuals were then randomly divided into two groups – Group A and Group B. The pollster asked Group A the following: “Conservative Republican Senator Chuck Grassley recently introduced a bill to cap the price that drug companies could charge for medications. Do you support efforts to cap the price of prescription drugs?” The pollster asked Group B the following: “Liberal Democratic Senator Ron Wyden recently introduced a bill to cap the price that drug companies could charge for medications. Do you support efforts to cap the price of prescription drugs?” Although both statements are equally true (the bill was proposed by both Grassley and Wyden), 85% of participants in Group A said that they supported efforts to cap the price of prescription drugs, while only 45% of Group B participants said the same. This would be an example of what decision-making issue?

Brendan and Darren are twins who went to Las Vegas on their 21st birthday. Brendan spent nearly the entire trip playing poker at various casinos and he did pretty well. At the end of the trip he ended up having $50 more than what he started with. Now Brendan and Darren are returning to Las Vegas for their 50th birthday. On the flight there, Brendan is talking to Darren about the previous trip. In particular, Brendan shares his memory that he did great at poker during the last trip. Brendan says that he ended up having $500 more than what he started with. Brendan’s false memory that he had made $500 during the previous trip when he had actually only made $50 is consistent with what memory issue?

Pam and Angela work in the same office. On the way into work one morning, Pam listened to a radio report about a woman who had just one $100 million in the lottery. The report went into a huge amount of detail about how the woman was going to spend her prize. Angela drove into work without listening to the radio. That day a co-worker asked both Pam and Angela if they wanted to take part in an office lottery pool. Angela said, “No. The odds of winning are so low it’s not worth it.” Pam on the other hand said, “I don’t know. The odds seem like they might be pretty good.” The fact that Pam’s estimate of the odds of winning the lottery is higher than Angela’s estimate is consistent with what decision-making issue?

20 black golfers and 20 white golfers of roughly equal skill are recruited for a research study. 10 of the black golfers and 10 of the white golfers are randomly assigned to Group 1. The experimenter doesn’t say anything to these golfers. They’re just allowed to play 18 holes of golf. The remaining 10 black golfers and 10 white golfers are assigned to Group 2. Before these golfers start, the experimenter reads them all a passage describing golf as an excellent test of natural athletic ability. The experimenter also reminds these golfers of the stereotypical belief that black individuals are more naturally athletic than white individuals. The experimenter finds that the white golfers in Group 2 play significantly worse than the white golfers in Group 1. This finding would be consistent with what phenomenon?
