Studies in the restaurante show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presneted on a tray that bears a credit-card logo. Cosumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit card logo makes many credit card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists's interpretation of the studies?
B Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit card logo than when the tray has no logo.
答案: B
有些人,看见LOGO和使用现金,会多给小费,心理学家认为是因为看见logo这件事情让这些人意识到自己有很多“钱”。也就是说心理学家认为看见logo是一种心理暗示。
问哪一个选项是支持了心理学家的这种解释(也就是问哪一个选项实际上证明了确实是有“心理暗示作用”的)
B说道:另外有些经济不好的人,看见LOGO和使用现金会少给小费(意识到自己还欠着别人很多钱)。
这就可以证明“心理暗示作用”确实是存在的。
但是我不明白的是,文中说有了这个logo,人们看见后会意识到自己有很多钱,于是就多给小费,这是文中的结论(psychologists hypothesize),B选项说的却是经济不好的人看见logo会少给(比没看见的人)小费,我也意识到logo有心理暗示,但并不是说这个心理暗示是让人们意识到自己的钱更少了,而是比他认为的多,而再怎么样也不会比没看到Logo的给的少。。我不明白为什么说B support?文中只是阐述了一种(多给的情况),这也是Logo的作用,但并没有表示它有让人们意识到自己欠钱而少给小费啊。。。
望理解此题的同学给予解释,万分感激
