Bethany has been listening to a political speaker who is encouraging people to support a law that would require all people to recycle aluminum cans and severely penalize those who do not recycle. The speaker is giving strong arguments in favor of this proposed law and is couching his appeal in moral and ethical language. As a result, Bethany is becoming increasingly annoyed and resentful of the speaker and his arguments. She may be experiencing
a) biased assimilation
b) acceptance
c) cognitive dissonance
d) reactance
e) counterfactual thinking

Respuesta :

Answer:d) Reactance

Explanation:

In our human nature we would mostly prefer to do whatever we want when ever we want to, to do as we desire.when this is challenged that when we start to experience reactance.

Reactance are those emotions that are evoked when we feel that our freedom is being threatened, our own way of doing things the way we want is being taken away. This act as our shield to regain the freedom back.

Bethany probably feel now she is going to be restrained in how she drinks on can and what she do with that can afterwards , she Probably doesn't like the idea that one will be punished for not recycling because this feels like a freedom to decide is taken away now one has to watch over how they used cans probably that is not what she would prefer to do.
