(A) This tendency to over-stress the contribution of character, and to put it in an altogether misleading antithesis to intellect, is also probably characteristic of equalitarian societies.
(B) Differences in intellectual capacity are particularly distasteful to the equalitarian, who can with comfort fall back on a vague mystique of character as the principal attribute of such leadership as he will allow, and which he may delude himself is very widely diffused.
(C) Whereas high intelligence is not usually a spectacular quality to the majority of people, courage, tenacity, and dominance are.
(D) The contribution of intelligence to leadership is underestimated, perhaps, because in the popular picture of the leader, attributes of character are far more obvious than those of intellect.

(A) What we mean by a work of art is, then, an entity which provides a more or less lasting possibility for a number of consumers to make such actualisation or concretions on the basis of a material thing or a series of physical 'happenings' which are the existential substrate of the work of art.
(B) Roman Ingarden, who discusses the same thing, uses the word 'concretion' in order to emphasise that the process of actualisation is one of rendering the indeterminate determinate or concrete.
(C) Appreciation, then, consists in bringing an appropriate aesthetic object into awareness to the fullest possible degree on the basis of the material thing or 'happening' to which we are attending.
(D) In previous writing, as here, I have used the word ‘actualisation-making actual what is latent or potential--for this process.

(A) Aesthetic experience is a mode of cognition by direct apprehension and it consists of focusing awareness upon whatever is presented to the senses.
(B) It is a basic form of mental activity in so far as sensory awareness is fundamental to all our dealings with the world in which our lives are fated to be spent.
(C) Sensuous awareness is the first step out from imprisonment within the solitariness which is the penalty of individual existence, and from this step all else follows.
(D) We can only manipulate our environment to our needs and desires, to obduracies of the environment, to the extent that we become directly acquainted with it through our organs of sense.

(A) For example, if a person holds an attitude towards the United States, military participation in the Persian gulf war and discusses this issue with a friend, this attitude would likely become linked, in a molar schema, with both the friends, attitude on the issue and the person's attitude towards the friend.
(B) As our discussion of bonds between attitude and values has already shown, attitudes are generally not isolated within the individual's mind, butare linked to other's attitudes in molar cognitive structures.
(C) These connections between attitudes develop as a product of a social interaction.
(D) Of particular interest to social psychologists are the cognitive linkages that may be formed between attitudes towards issues and attitudes towards people.

(A) In this model, subjective norm is itself a function of normative beliefs, which represent perception of a significant other's preference about whether one should engage in a behaviour.
(B) The model quantifies these beliefs by multiplying the subjective likelihood that a particular significant other (called a referent) thinks the person should perform the behaviour, times the person's motivation to comply with that referent's expectations.
(C) For example, an individual might believe that his mother thinks that he should not donate money to the democratic party and that his best friend thinks he should donate.
(D)These products, which are analogous to the expectancy times value products, computed for behavioral beliefs, are then summed over the various salient referent persons.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) Worth considering in the context of the probabilogical model's treatment of belief change is the question of how change in a premise is brought about.
(B) Baye's theorem specifies how beliefs should change if information is used properly (that is, according to the law of mathematical probability).
(C) Whereas the probabilogical model considers the effect of change in one belief (a premise) a on change in another belief (a conclusion), it does not consider how new information changes belief in the premise in the first place.
(D) The approach thus provides a normative model that prescribes how beliefs, which are called hypothesis in this tradition (e.g. "research on groups will become dominant in social psychology"), should change in response to the introduction of some new information called evidence or datum in this tradition.

(A) Much of this research has documented a reliable tendency of persuasion to decrease when fewer arguments are presented.
(B) For example, in several experiments by 'Insko and his colleagues, subjects were presented with varying numbers of arguments supporting the guilt or innocence of a fictitious defendant.
(C) Across the various studies, increasing the number of guilty arguments significantly increased the subjects' tendencies to render guilty verdicts, whereas increasing the number of not guilty arguments increased the subjects' tendencies to judge the defendant innocent.
(D) Because lowering message comprehensibility presumably decreases the persuasiveness of high quality messages by lessening the amount of supportive argumentation received, it is also important to consider research that has varied the number of arguments that a message contains.

(A) It is worth noting that McGuire felt that the compensation principle applied to a large set of individual difference dimensions, not only to the few variables he used to illustrate his logic and predictions (e.g., self-esteem, intelligence, anxiety.)
(B) In large part, this belief was based on another, that complete susceptibility or non-susceptibility to influence attempts, was less adaptive for human organisms than being susceptible in some situation and non-susceptible in others.
(C) For example, rather than being ubiquitously persuasible, people with low self-esteem were predicted to be some times more persuasible than people with moderate(or high) self-esteem and sometimes less persuasible.
(D) Taken together, the compensation in situational weighting principles of the Mcguire paradigm allowed him to model this view point.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) The definition of the object is, as we have seen, that it exists in parts, and that consequently, it acknowledges between itself and other objects, only external and mechanical relationships, whether in the narrow sense of motion received and transmitted or in the wider sense of the relation of function to variable.
(B) It was of course realised that in the circuit of behaviour, new particular forms emerge, and the organism with the power transforming the physical world.
(C) Where it was desired to insert the organism in the universe of objects and thereby close off that universe, it was necessary to translate the functioning of the body into the language of the stimulus and receptor, receptor and Empfinder.
(D) But in fact, it attributed to the nervous systems, the occult power of creating the different structure of our experience, and whereas sight, touch and hearing are so many ways of gaining access to the object, these structures found themselves transformed into compact qualities derived from the local distinction between the organs used.
