Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Psychologists have found that privately made resolutions are rarely followed, whereas a public commitment to achieve
some goal, such as losing weight or giving up smoking, is likely to be much more effective. This is because the approval of
others for reaching one’s target is valued. In contrast, disapproval for failure can lead to feelings of shame.
Advertising agencies have designed studies bearing out the truth of this observation. In their research, a group of
strangers was bombarded with information about the qualities of a particular product. They were then asked to either
announce out loud or write down privately whether they intended to buy the product. It was later discovered that those
who publicly declared their intention to buy were considerably more likely to do so than those who affirmed their
intentions in private.
In another study, an experimenter claiming to represent a local utility company interviewed homeowners, telling them he
was investigating ways in which energy consumption could be reduced. Half the subjects, randomly selected, were told
that if they agreed to conserve energy, their names would be mentioned in an article published in the local newspaper; the
remaining half were told their names would not be used.
All those interviewed agreed to cooperate and signed a form either giving consent for their names to be used or stating
that their names would not be used. Later in the year, the amount of gas consumed in each house was recorded. The
owners who had agreed to their names being published had used significantly less gas than those who remained
anonymous.
