Eliza designs an experiment because she believes that watching violent movies makes people more aggressive. she tests aggressiveness after having participants watch 30 minutes of a violent action movie versus a nonviolent action movie. her dependent variable in the violent condition asks, "do you feel more violent and aggressive after watching this violent and aggressive movie? " what type of faulty thinking is this an example of?

this is a confirmatory hypothesis testing

Explanation:

In simple terms this means that a person tries to find proof in what they have already concluded to be true in their mind , they already believe that something is that way they just do the hypothesis not to find out if it is that way but to confirm their conclusion as being true .

They will try by all means to twist the hypothesis so that it gives the actual results that they desire or the results that they have concluded on to be true.

Eliza believes that watching violent movies makes people agresssive she has made that conclusion now she just want to confirm it to be actual true hence her question is leading a person to actual say yes they feel aggressive.

good question. i'll be looking into that. (this is a joke sir)

sir frederic attributed inaccuracies to schemas. memory reconstruction is one part actual events and one part personal schema, which can result in inaccuracies when memories are reconstructed.
