Question
Which statement is NOT compatible with the hypothesis that the self-serving bias can account for participants’ explanations of their body weights?AObese participants view their unhealthy weight as a result of having too many fast food restaurants near home.BNon-obese participants view their healthy weight as a result of having strong willpower.CObese participants view their unhealthy weight as a result of not having time to exercise regularly.DNon-obese participants view their healthy weight as a result of not having any fast food restaurants near their home.
Solution
The statement that is NOT compatible with the hypothesis that the self-serving bias can account for participants’ explanations of their body weights is "Non-obese participants view their healthy weight as a result of not having any fast food restaurants near their home."
This is because the self-serving bias refers to people's tendency to attribute positive events to their own character but attribute negative events to external factors. In this case, non-obese participants are attributing their healthy weight to an external factor (the absence of fast food restaurants) rather than their own behaviors or characteristics, which does not align with the concept of the self-serving bias.
