Why "normal" people tend to find excuses for their serious wrongdoings if they are still not caught red-handed?

• It is universal psychological response

• They put their status too high

• They can manipulate other people

This is a normal psychological thought of a normal person whenever you are in such situation. What matters here is that whether you can control that response or not.

"The Eyes of a Child" - an advertising campaign, surveyed a child and its parent about how they regard handicapped people.

The survey included 5 videos, and the two respondents were seperated with a short wall. Their task was to MIMIC the actors (doing weird things) shown on the screen.

When it came to this video (the adjacent picture), who do you think will complete the task completely, in case you have not known about this survey?

• The child

• Both

• Lack of information

• The parent

Answer explanation

You cannot conclude unless you have watched the campaign. If you fails this question, you face ADMITTING MINDSET.

Actually, the answer would be "The child" ^^. Find more if you are interested (The campaign of Leo Burnett Paris 2014)
