Cоnsider the bаr chаrt belоw:   This chаrt relates data frоm two experiments conducted at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, respectively. Research subjects were 27 undergraduates enrolled in a core humanities class at Carnegie Mellon University and 42 adults enrolled in two evening classes in finance at the University of Pittsburgh. In each class, the experimenter held up a mug engraved with the school logo for the students to see. A different style of mug was used at Carnegie Mellon and at the University of Pittsburgh. A form was then randomly distributed to approximately half of the students in each class. The form asked the students to imagine that they possessed the mug on display and to predict whether they would be willing to exchange the mug for various amounts of money. It was worded as follows: We are interested in your opinion about the mug displayed at the front of the room. Imagine that we gave you a mug exactly like the one you can see, and that we gave you the opportunity to keep it or trade it for some money. Below are a series of lines marked 'Keep mug___ Trade it for $ amount ___ .' On each line check whether you think that you would prefer to keep the mug or to trade it in for the amount of money writtenon the line. Check one or the other on every line. The remainder of the page consisted of 40 lines each containing a choice between keeping the mug or trading it for an amount of money that ranged from 25 cents to 10 dollars in $0.25 increments. The experimenter waited until all subjects with a form had completed it. Next, all subjects were presented with a mug and given a second form which actually provided the opportunity to exchange the mug for cash. The instructions for the second form were directly analogous to those used in the prediction form, but made it clear that one of their choices would count. Subjects were told that they would receive the option they had circled on one of the lines - which line had been determined in advance by the experimenter. The chart above summarizes the results of the study. The red bars (on the left of each panel) relate the mean predicted selling price elicited from the students who received the first form. The yellow bars (in the middle of each panel) relate those same students' mean minimum selling values. The orange bars (on the right of each panel) represent the control group - students who did not receive the first form but from whom a mean minimum selling value could be calculated via their responses on the second form.  Your task is to explain these results using the terminology of behavioral economics. Use the textbox to describe all course concepts/topics that are exemplified by these results in the greatest detail possible.
