Question 5 of 5

Consider the classic experiment where male and female participants (who have never met) were placed in separate rooms. Before they spoke to each other over a telephone, the men were shown pictures of either an attractive woman (group 1) or an unattractive woman (group 2). Importantly, the pictures that the men were shown bore no resemblance to the woman to which they were actually talking. When judges listened to the woman's side of the phone conversation (without hearing anything that the men said to them), they found that women who talked to men from the first group tended to sound more warm, friendly and flirtatious than women who had spoken to men from the second group. In this study, which people were most likely to have created a self-fulfilling prophecy?

A. The women who had talked to men from group 1 B. The women who had talked to men from group 2 C. The men D. The judges
