In addition to biases existing on the part of people who do the ratings, the people who receive evaluations (i.e., the ratees) can be biased as well. One example of ratee bias is egocentric bias, which is best described as the tendency to:
 
  a. evaluate oneself more favorably than others do.
  b. believe that one is not in touch with their inner needs.
  c. believe that oneself is less fortunate and more incompetent than others.
  d. believe that others are envious of one's good looks and competencies.

Question 2

People feel a strong social obligation to return favors. Thus a potential flaw of 360-degree programs is that they are subject to collusion: I'll give you a good rating if you give me one. This situation is an example of:
 
  a. experience effect.
  b. bandwagon bias.
  c. reciprocity bias.
  d. conflict of interest bias.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
