Recall that in the 1930s, when anti-Asian prejudice was commonplace in the United States, LaPiere (1934) had no trouble finding pleasant accommodations for himself and his Chinese traveling companions.
 
  Surprised, LaPiere later sent letters to the establishments they visited, asking whether Chinese visitors would be welcome. More than 90 percent of those who responded replied that they definitely would not accommodate Chinese. Although LaPiere's study suggests that there is a weak link between attitudes and behavior, his results should be interpreted with caution. Why?
  a. Later, more systematic research revealed that there is generally a strong relation between attitudes and behavior.
  b. Prejudice has generally declined in the United States since the 1930s.
  c. His sample of proprietors was not randomly selected.
  d. Proprietors' attitudes might have changed between LaPiere's visit and the time he sent the letters.

Question 2

Social psychologists have found that attitudes do predict behavior, but only under certain specifiable conditions. One key factor is knowing whether the behavior in question is
 
  a. positive or negative.
  b. spontaneous or deliberate.
  c. easy or difficult.
  d. a current or future behavior.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
