Answer:

it’s b

Explanation:

The piece of evidence which best supports the idea that dehumanization increases immoral behavior is:

B. "Bandura found students were more apt to deliver what they believed were increased levels of electrical shock to the other students if they had heard them called animals." (Paragraph 8)

  • This question refers to the article "What Makes Good People Do Bad Things?", by Melissa Dittmann.
  • Dehumanization refers to process of making others seem less human by depriving them of human qualities.
  • Calling someone an "animal" is a clear example of dehumanization. Since we do not regard animals in the same light we do humans, if we think of someone as an animal, we will care less about his well-being.
  • That is what psychologist Albert Bandura found in a study conducted with students.
  • A group of students heard students from a different university being called "nice". Another group heard them being called "animals".
  • The group that heard the word "animals" was more apt to deliver higher levels of electric shock to the students from the other university.
  • Therefore, the quote in letter B, which concerns the study mentioned above, is the one that shows how dehumanization increases immoral (wrong) behavior.
