Psychologist: In a study, researchers gave 100 volunteers a psychological questionnaire designed to measure their self-esteem. The researchers then asked each volunteer to rate the strength of his or her own social skills. The volunteers with the highest levels of self-esteem consistently rated themselves as having much better social skills than did the volunteers with moderate levels. This suggests that attaining an exceptionally high level of self-esteem greatly improves one’s social skills.
The psychologist’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism on which of the following grounds?
It fails to adequately address the possibility that many of the volunteers may not have understood what the psychological questionnaire was designed to measure.
It takes for granted that the volunteers with the highest levels of self-esteem had better social skills than did the other volunteers, even before the former volunteers had attained their high levels of self-esteem.
It overlooks the possibility that people with very high levels of self-esteem may tend to have a less accurate perception of the strength of their own social skills than do people with moderate levels of self-esteem.
It relies on evidence from a group of volunteers that is too small to provide any support for any inferences regarding people in general.
It overlooks the possibility that factors other than level of self-esteem may be of much greater importance in determining the strength of one's social skills.
这题确实有点难度。
C选项：上文观点忽视了一个可能性——自尊心强的人会比自尊心一般的人更容易对自己的社交能力产生错误的认识
E选项：获得极强的自尊心会提升一个人的社交能力。
E选项长得极像正确答案，但是它是错的，原因在于，它基于一个假设：实验结果是正确的，调查问卷完全能反映一个人的社交能力。我们不禁要对这个实验设计者的智商表示怀疑——你怎么能让一个人评价自己的社交能力呢？据我们经验所知，自尊心强的人都不太好相处，所谓文章中的结论“高自尊，好社交”这个假设完全是根据自尊心强的人意淫的产物，是不足信的，是值得怀疑的。
既然调查结果都是错误的了，又怎么能产生正确的答案呢？“臣闻求木之长者，必固其根本；求流之远者，必浚其泉源”，我们要抓问题的本质，而C选项正是对这个本质的怀疑。
