A number of sentences are given below which, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
(A) In this model, subjective norm is itself a function of normative beliefs, which represent perception of a significant other's preference about whether one should engage in a behaviour.
(B) The model quantifies these beliefs by multiplying the subjective likelihood that a particular significant other (called a referent) thinks the person should perform the behaviour, times the person's motivation to comply with that referent's expectations.
(C) For example, an individual might believe that his mother thinks that he should not donate money to the democratic party and that his best friend thinks he should donate.
(D)These products, which are analogous to the expectancy times value products, computed for behavioral beliefs, are then summed over the various salient referent persons.

Important Questions on Paragraph Jumbles
Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) Worth considering in the context of the probabilogical model's treatment of belief change is the question of how change in a premise is brought about.
(B) Baye's theorem specifies how beliefs should change if information is used properly (that is, according to the law of mathematical probability).
(C) Whereas the probabilogical model considers the effect of change in one belief (a premise) a on change in another belief (a conclusion), it does not consider how new information changes belief in the premise in the first place.
(D) The approach thus provides a normative model that prescribes how beliefs, which are called hypothesis in this tradition (e.g. "research on groups will become dominant in social psychology"), should change in response to the introduction of some new information called evidence or datum in this tradition.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) Much of this research has documented a reliable tendency of persuasion to decrease when fewer arguments are presented.
(B) For example, in several experiments by 'Insko and his colleagues, subjects were presented with varying numbers of arguments supporting the guilt or innocence of a fictitious defendant.
(C) Across the various studies, increasing the number of guilty arguments significantly increased the subjects' tendencies to render guilty verdicts, whereas increasing the number of not guilty arguments increased the subjects' tendencies to judge the defendant innocent.
(D) Because lowering message comprehensibility presumably decreases the persuasiveness of high quality messages by lessening the amount of supportive argumentation received, it is also important to consider research that has varied the number of arguments that a message contains.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) It is worth noting that McGuire felt that the compensation principle applied to a large set of individual difference dimensions, not only to the few variables he used to illustrate his logic and predictions (e.g., self-esteem, intelligence, anxiety.)
(B) In large part, this belief was based on another, that complete susceptibility or non-susceptibility to influence attempts, was less adaptive for human organisms than being susceptible in some situation and non-susceptible in others.
(C) For example, rather than being ubiquitously persuasible, people with low self-esteem were predicted to be some times more persuasible than people with moderate(or high) self-esteem and sometimes less persuasible.
(D) Taken together, the compensation in situational weighting principles of the Mcguire paradigm allowed him to model this view point.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) The definition of the object is, as we have seen, that it exists in parts, and that consequently, it acknowledges between itself and other objects, only external and mechanical relationships, whether in the narrow sense of motion received and transmitted or in the wider sense of the relation of function to variable.
(B) It was of course realised that in the circuit of behaviour, new particular forms emerge, and the organism with the power transforming the physical world.
(C) Where it was desired to insert the organism in the universe of objects and thereby close off that universe, it was necessary to translate the functioning of the body into the language of the stimulus and receptor, receptor and Empfinder.
(D) But in fact, it attributed to the nervous systems, the occult power of creating the different structure of our experience, and whereas sight, touch and hearing are so many ways of gaining access to the object, these structures found themselves transformed into compact qualities derived from the local distinction between the organs used.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) Intellectualism set out, it is true, to discover by reflection, the structure of perception, instead of explaining it in terms of a combination of associative forces and attention, but its gaze upon perception is not yet direct.
(B) Sensation is no longer presupposed as a real element of consciousness.
(C) This will be seen better by examining the role played in its analysis by the notation of judgement.
(D) Judgement is often introduced as what sensation lacks to make perception possible.
(E) But when it is desired to delineate the structure of perception, it is done by joining up the points of sensation.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) Intellectualism is unequal to dealing with this perceptual life, either falling short of it over shooting it; it calls up as limiting cases, the manifold qualities which are merely the outer or casing of the object, and from there it passes on to a consciousness of that which claims to hold within itself, the law or secret of that object, and for this reason, deprives the development of the experience of its contingency and the object of its distinctive perceptual style.
(B) This move from thesis to antithesis, this flying from one extreme to the other, which is the regular procedure of intellectualism, leaves the starting-point of analyses unaffected.
(C) We started off from a world in itself which acted upon our eyes so as to cause us to see it, and we now have consciousness of or thought about the world, but the nature of this world remains unchanged: it is still defined by the absolute mutual exteriorty of its part, and is merely duplicated throughout its extent by a thought which sustains it.
(D) An object is an organism of colour, smells, sounds and tactile appearances, which symbolise, modify and accord with each other according to the laws of real logic which it is the task of science to make explicit, and which it is far from having analysed completely.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) Between sense experience and knowing, common experience establishes a difference which is not that between the quality and the concept.
(B) This had been possible only at the price of moving far from the ordinary acceptation of the word.
(C) Empiricism had emptied it of all mystery by bringing it down to the possession of a quality.
(D) Sense experience has become once more a question for us.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.
(A) As soon as one grew tired of them, to picture consciousness in the process of perceiving to revive the forgotten perceptual experience, and to relate them to it, they were found to be inconceivable.
(B) By dint of making these difficulties more explicit, we were drawn implicitly into a new kind of analysis, into a new dimension in which they were destined to disappear.
(C) So, 'sensation' and 'judgement' have together lost their apparent clearness: we have observed that they were clear only as long as the prejudice in favour of the world was maintained.
(D) The criticism of the constancy hypothesis and more generally, the reduction of the idea of the world' opened up a phenomenal field which now has to be more accurately circumscribed, and suggested and assigned its place in relation to scientific knowledge, and to psychological and philosophical reflection.
