A scientist who does research in
economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will
spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on the
resources of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage
money spending. If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most -- people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes -- he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947 -- 1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. people with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions about earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they wil A. rely on traditional assumptions about earning and spending B. try to encourage or discourage consumers to spend money C. carry out investigations on consumer behavior and obtain data on consumers’ incomes and money spending motives D. do researches in consumer psychology in a laboratory [单项选择]Under the influence of market economy some research activities have been______ from basic research towards practical goals.
A. relayed B. revolved C. diverted D. rectified [单项选择]Two major findings have emerged from these researches. Firstly, the greater part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life. It is estimated that 50 percent of measurable intelligence at age 17 is already predictable by the age of four. Secondly, the most important factors in the environment are language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship. Much of the difference in measured intelligence between "privileged" and "disadvantaged" children may be due to the latter’s lack of appropriate verbal stimulation and the poverty of their perceptual experiences.
The paragraph mainly talks about A. observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life. B. the importance of language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship. C. the two major findings from the recent researches on intelligence. D. lack of appropriate verbal stimulation leads to children’s disadvantage in intelligenc [判断题]
Scientists are now studying a new field of research called psychoimmunology. It is based on the idea that people who are depressed or have a lot of stress are more likely to become sick. Researchers have recently found a connection between diseases and stressful situations. To test this theory, psychoimmunologists are trying to find a link between the brain and the immune system. 我来回答: 提交
