Bradford, a gay man, recently applied for a job as a fifth-grade teacher
Shortly before his second interview with school administrators, which was to include some interaction time with current students, Bradford completed an online survey that included questions about his sexual orientation. It was explained that the survey was completely unrelated to the school system, and that the orientation items were being asked by a gay rights organization. Bradford did not think that he was particularly nervous or anxious during his interactions with the students. Recent research (Bosson, Haymovitz, and Pinel, 2004) suggests that ________. a) nonverbal measures of anxiety may have been higher than otherwise because the online survey may have made Bradford's homosexuality more salient
b) verbal self-report measures of anxiety may have been lower than otherwise because the online survey may have made Bradford less self-conscious of his sexual orientation
c) verbal self-report measures of anxiety may have been higher than otherwise because the online survey may have made Bradford more self-conscious of his sexual orientation
d) nonverbal measures of anxiety may have been lower than otherwise because the online survey may have made Bradford's sexual orientation less important
