Card 2 / 50: In a social psychology experiment, white participants either forecasted (imagined) or actually experienced how they would feel and how they would behave towards a white stranger who made a racial slur about a black stranger. The findings were:
A) both forecasters and experiencers felt negative feelings towards the white stranger and were less likely to select the white stranger as a partner for performing a task (relative to a control condition without any slur being made)
B) neither forecasters nor experiencers felt negative feelings towards the white stranger and both groups were likely to select the white stranger as a partner for performing a task (relative to a control condition without any slur being made)
C) forecasters felt negative feelings towards the white stranger and were less likely to select the white stranger as a partner for performing the task; experiencers felt negative feelings towards the white stranger but were as likely to select the white stranger as a white stranger in a control condition without any slur being made
D) forecasters felt negative feelings towards the white stranger and were less likely to select the white stranger as a partner for performing the task; experiencers did not have negative feelings towards the white stranger and were as likely to select the white stranger as a white stranger in a control condition without any slur being made
