Explanation:

Analyze Question 8

The scenario describes a reduced likelihood of helping someone in an emergency when other people are present (in a group). This is the classic definition of the bystander effect, where diffusion of responsibility occurs.

Analyze Question 9

The scenario describes answering a survey in a way that presents oneself in a favorable light ("want people to think I am a good person"). This response bias is known as social desirability bias.

Analyze Question 10

The scenario describes a cognitive belief or generalization that a person possesses specific characteristics solely based on their group membership (race). This cognitive component is defined as a stereotype.
