Answer to Question 1
Answer:
Findings suggest that Asian (Chinese) individuals may take more factors into account when considering causal events. For example, when asked about the source of global warming Asian individuals may include a wide array of reasons that this is occurring. However, westerners (Canadians) may have a more limited scope of factors that they consider to be causally linked to global warming. This can create conflict when there is a need to create a policy to address an issue such as global warming. Asian individuals may prefer a policy that addresses many causal factors, while a westerner may prefer to focus only on a few big causes to address the problem.
Answer to Question 2
Answer:
The representativeness heuristic states that the more similar an individual is to the typical members of a group, the more likely the individual is to also be a member of that group. Base rates are the frequency of the occurrence of a given pattern or event in the population. When we use the representativeness heuristic, we typically ignore base rates in deciding whether or not a particular individual is likely to be a member of a particular group.
