So recall that this figure is 3 comparing the correlations of different situations. 4 We have correlation between self perception and predictions of how others perceive 5 people, um, correlations with self perception and actual perception, 6 correlation between predictions and actual perceptions. 7 Um, and then we have an all these cases of distinguishing between new acquaintances 8 and old acquaintances. Um, 9 so looking at our answer choices here, 10 we want to see which one is probably most able to be addressed by 11 the figure I says, what determined the traits that researchers tended to focus 12 on. Um, the traits that researchers tended to focus on is not going to 13 be addressed in the figure. That's something that you'd have to go dive deeper 14 into their experimental design to see, um, 15 the figures really showing the results, not the process of selecting the experiment. 16 So ASL B says, why are individuals more likely to accurately predict the impressions 17 of groups that have specific individuals within groups? 18 The key here is it's asking why, um, 19 the figure might be able to provide evidence for whether or not individuals are 20 actually more or less likely to predict the impressions of groups than specific individuals. 21 Um, but it doesn't address why the figure is just kind of providing us 22 the numbers, the evidence, the proof, b...
