While talking with his best friend Matt, Carlos, who is clearly down and out, says, "Dude, I just have no luck with girls at all. I asked Tyra out last night and she turned me down flat. Nobody will EVER want to go out with me. Why am I such a loser?" Because Matt has recently taken an abnormal psychology class, he uses a cognitive perspective to answer Carlos. Which of the following might Matt say?
A. "You know, buddy, it sounds like you're really stuck in a battle between your id and superego!"
B. "Hey, friend, I think that you've learned to see yourself negatively, so now you need to learn to see yourself positively!"
C. "You know, dude, I think your neurotransmitters are all out of whack. Why don't you go to a doctor?"
D. "Hey, pal, you are really overgeneralizing. Just because Tyra said no doesn't mean that all girls will!"
