Question

Matt's political science professor announces that next week there will be a guest lecture by peace activist Rachel Phelps entitled "The History of War, the Prospects for Peace." Matt decides to skip class that day, saying to himself, "What can a peace activist possibly tell me about war?" What aspect of poor listening identified in your textbook is Matt exhibiting in this example?
a. rejecting the speaker's frame of reference
b. jumping to conclusions
c. giving in to distractions
d. failing to concentrate
e. suspending judgment

Answer 1

Answer:

b. jumping to conclusions

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by various psychologists, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Matt is jumping to conclusions. This can be said because Matt states "What can a peace activist possibly tell me about war?" without ever going to the lecture, so he is just assuming.
