Answer to Question 1

Answer:
The exercise asked me to fill out a short personality assessment for myself and one for a friend. There are about a dozen traits, with an opportunity to select, e.g., shy, outgoing or Depends on the situation. So after I filled out both of these short personality measures, the exercise told me how many times I gave myself a depends on the situation and how many times I gave my friend a depends on the situation. I gave my friend more of those than myself The idea is that I would be apt to give myself more depends on the situation because, according the actor/observer effect, I will think of myself as behaving based on whatever situation I'm in, whereas I will think of my friend as operating from her traits (disposition). Therefore, I should give a friend fewer Depends on the situation than I give myself.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
