  b. most people in the U.S. probably believe one of these adages to be truebut not bothsince most people have very clear personal theories about social psychology
  c. the contradiction is not surprising at all, since common sense theories are often poorly defined, i.e., most people would probably say that both of these things are true (if you asked them at different times)
  d. most people would not see the contradiction if it were pointed out to them, since the average person is not a strong logical thinker
