Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Observers also pay closer attention to modeled behavior that produces positive or
negative consequences rather than neutral outcomes. When observers watch a model doing something they expect to do themselves, they pay greater attention than when the modeled behavior has no personal relevance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: It has been found that celebrity models, experts, and those who appear confident and attractive command greater attention and imitation than models who lack these attributes. Some of the most effective models in American culture today appear on television, YouTube, and other online sites.
