Patterns of Intergroup Relations

Question 19 • CR04258 Sociology

A group is considered incapable of understanding technical training, and thus is denied technical training. This group is then unable to gain employment in technical fields. Taking this lack of employment in technical fields as evidence of the group’s inability to understand technical information is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Answer
A
T
B
F

Explanation

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy: the group is assumed to lack ability, so it is denied training; the resulting lack of technical employment is then treated as proof of that assumption. The belief helps create the outcome used to support it, so the statement is true.
