Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question does not provide any information about Noland's gender stereotypic beliefs and there is no indication that Noland will choose based on information that first comes to his mind. The question also does not suggest any evidence of participants disconfirming Noland's stereotypic beliefs. Therefore, the most logical choice is B, as Noland will likely choose based on how each group member has performed so far.
