Psychology QUESTION #9805
Question 1

  • Favorable
  • Unfavorable
  • Received first✔️
  • Received last
Correct Answer Explanation
Research on primacy effects (Asch, 1946) shows that first-received information disproportionately influences overall impressions by creating a cognitive framework that filters subsequent information.
