Question

the belief that strange behavior is linked to the occurrence of a full moon is an example of a/an _. a. internal attribution b. illusory correlation c. factual assertion d. theory

Explanation:

An illusory correlation occurs when people perceive a relationship between two variables when none actually exists. In this case, there is no scientific basis for the link between strange behavior and a full - moon, so it is an illusory correlation. An internal attribution is about assigning the cause of behavior to internal factors of a person. A factual assertion is a statement of fact, and this is not a fact. A theory is a well - substantiated explanation, and this is not a well - supported idea.

Answer:

B. illusory correlation
