1. One major obligation of the social
psychologist is to provide his own discipline, the other social sciences, and
interested laymen with conceptual tools that will increase the range and the
reliability of their understanding of social phenomena. Beyond that,
responsible government officials are today turning more frequently to the
social scientist for insights into the nature and solution of the problems with
which they are confronted.

The above argument assumes that

A. Social psychologists must have a strong
background in other sciences as well as their own.

B. The social scientist has an obligation
to provide the means by which social phenomena may be understood by others.

C. Social phenomena are little understood
by those outside the field of social psychology.

D. A good social psychologist is obligated
principally by the need to solve inter-disciplinary problems.

(a)
B                (b) C                (c) A                (d) D

2. Once a company has established an
extensive sales network in a foreign market and therefore has achieved
substantial sales, it seems that these markets should be treated in a very
similar fashion to those in one’s own country. It is therefore in those
countries where only initial sales and representation have been developed where
marketing methods will have to differ from domestic activities.

The above statement assumes that:

A. Sales network can be the same in both
foreign and domestic markets.

B. Extensive sales networks are preferable
to less developed ones.

C. Larger markets abroad are more adaptable
to domestic marketing methods.

D. A study of marketing should consider the
adaptability of advertising campaigns in different countries.

(a)
A                (b) B                (c) C                 (d) D

3. Equality of opportunity has long been
prominent as a goal in many countries. In Europe and America there has also
been advocacy of more equality of income – the results after taxes of what a
person gets for his efforts and the yield of his property. Many western
politicians believe this concept of equality should be implemented in
developing countries in order to speed economic development.

Which of the following, if true, could
weaken the argument above?

A. In a poor society, total income is so
low that if it were distributed equally, no one could save enough to provide
resources for investment.

B. The marginal dollars in the hands of
people with large incomes provide less utility than those with lower income.

C. High achievement in many societies is due
to equality of incomes.

D. Equality of opportunity is not
necessarily synonymous with equality of income.

(a)
D                (b) B                (c) A                (d) C

4. In 1985 there were 20 deaths from
automobile accidents per 1,000 miles traveled. A total of 20,000 miles were traveled
via automobiles in 1985. In the same year, 800 people died in airplane crashes
and 400 people were killed in train disasters. A statistician concluded that it
was more dangerous to travel by plane, train, and automobile, in that order.

Which of the following refutes the
Statistician’s conclusions?

A. There is no common denominator by which
to compare the number of deaths resulting from each mode of travel.

B. One year is insufficient to reach such a
conclusion.

C. More people travel by car than any other
mode of transport, therefore, the probability of a car accident is greater.

D. The probability of being killed in a
train disaster and as a result of a car crash is the same.

(a)
A                (b) B                (c) C                 (d) D

5. Product shipments of household appliances
are expected to rise to $17 billion next year, an average annual increase of
8.0 percent over the past five years. The real growth rate, after allowing for
probable price increases, is expected to be about 4.3 percent each year,
resulting in shipments this year of $ 14 billion in 1987 dollars.

Each of the following, if true, could help
to account for this trend EXCEPT:

A. Increased consumer spending for durable
products

B. Consumer disposable income has
increased.

C. The consumer price of electricity has
decreased.

D. Individual tax advantages have
decreased.

(a)
C                (b) A                (c) D                (d) B

6. Each year’s increase or decrease in the
trade deficit (merchandise imports greater than exports) is calculated in
relation to the previous year’s. In 1976, imports of private vehicles were 10
percent higher than in 1975, while imports of vehicles including commercial
vans was 15 percent higher than in 1975. That 15 percent increase was one and
half times the increase recorded in 1975.

If the formation above is accurate, which
of the following must be true?

A. In 1976, the increase, if any of
commercial vehicle imports was smaller than the increase in imports of private
vehicles.

B. In 1976, the increase, if any, of
commercial vehicle imports was greater than the increase in imports of private
vehicles.

C. In 1975, more commercial vehicles were
imported than private vehicles.

D. The average number of private vehicles
imported, in 1975 declined.

(a)
A                (b) C                (c) B                 (d) D
