Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Compared with normal subjects, schizophrenics were found to be unstable and inconsistent in construing other people. However, their construing of objects was stable and consistent, suggesting that their thought disorders applied only to social situations.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Research showed a correspondence between one's personal characteristics and the ways of construing other people. For example, among a group of student nurses, those identified as highly anxious tended to use anxious versus non-anxious as a construct for evaluating others.
