大家好,這是一道在2018 VERBAL REVIEW的題
In an experiment, volunteers walked individually through a dark, abandoned theater. Half of the volunteers had beentold that the theater was haunted and the other half that it was underrenovation. The first half reported significantly more unusual experiences than the second did. The researchers concluded that reports of encounters with ghosts and other supernatural entities generally result from prior expectations of such experiences.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the researchers’ reasoning? A. None of the volunteers in the secondhalf believed that the unusual experiences they reported were supernatural. B. All of the volunteers in the first half believed that the researchers’ statement that the theater was haunted was a lie. C.Before being told about the theater, the volunteers within each group varied considerably in their prior beliefs about supernatural experiences. D.Each unusual experience reported by the volunteers had a cause that did not involve the supernatural. E. The researchers did not believe that thetheater was haunted.
以下是我的邏輯鏈:
前提:有一個實驗讓志願者進入廢棄的電影院裡。前一半的人被告知這間電影院鬧鬼,後一半的人被告知其實是在裝修。前一半的志願者中回報有不正常的經驗的人,比後面一半的志願者們多。
結論:研究人員總結,那是因為有回報這種不正常經驗的人,在事前就有對於鬧鬼的期待。
可能會有兩種答案:一個是「根本沒有這種期待」,另一個是「就算有這種期待也不會產生影響。」
看完詳解之後,我懂了B 為什麼是對的,因為如果所有人都覺得研究人員說的是謊話,那他們根本就不會有期待,所以可以削弱。
但我還是不懂為什麼D 是錯的。我覺得D說,每個遇到怪事的人都回報說有一個不是因為超自然現象而造成的理由。
那這樣的話,沒有超自然現象的理由,不是就不會有心理期待了?那還是可以削弱啊!
請大家幫幫忙!謝謝!
