Psychologist: In a survey, several hundred volunteers rated their own levels of self-control and their overall life satisfaction. The volunteers who rated themselves as having better self- control also reported greater satisfaction with their lives. This suggests that self-control is one factor that helps people avoid situations likely to produce dissatisfaction.
In order to assess the strength of the psychologist’s argument, it would be most helpful to know whether
people typically rate themselves as having significantly better self-control than expert psychological assessments would rate them as having
people's perceptions of how satisfied they are with their lives could be affected by factors of which they are unaware
there is a high level of self-control that tends to reduce overall life satisfaction
people's ratings of their overall satisfaction with their lives tend to temporarily decrease in situations likely to produce dissatisfaction
feelings of dissatisfaction significantly interfere with people’s ability to exercise self-control
A. --> This suggests that the self-ascribed levels of self-control of the participants in the survey may have been exaggerated. This weakens the psychologists' conclusion without completely invalidating this evidence.
E --> Suppose E were correct; feelings of dissatisfaction make effective self-control less likely. --> Self-control is the effect rather than the cause of feelings of satisfaction.
