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.
