Alice's friend, Zo, is very concerned and troubled about many of Alice's prejudices. Although she has pointed this out to her many times, Alice's views have not been altered.
 
  Another possible effective strategy that Zo might use to convince Alice (who has two children) to change her views would be to ________. a) point out shared group memberships with disliked others (e.g., we are all human)
  b) ask her to explain when and where she acquired her prejudices
  c) inform her that she will likely see an immediate boost to her self-esteem if she changes her views
  d) inform her that she and her children are not able to enjoy everyday activities and life to the fullest due to her prejudices

Question 2

In thinking about a major assignment that is due in one week, Jacey focuses on the tasks to be accomplished and how she thinks she will approach each task.

  b) activated an inappropriate schema
  c) entered a planning or narrative mode of thought
  d) never attempted a similar type of assignment in the past
