PT32.S4.Q21- Experimental Psychology

Hey fellow 7Sagers,

I have two quick questions for y'all!
I'm having troubles understanding why JY translates answer answer choice A—that ends up being the right answer—like this:

MPH ----> LS

moreLS = moreH

When answer choice A states "Most people need the love and support of others; without it, they become depressed and unhappy"
I translated it like this "/Love&support --m---> depressed&unhappy," using "without" group 3 translation negate + sufficient. Also, why not inserting most into the arrow?

Cheers,

the problem makes the logical mistake that more training in statistics the better at research in experimental psychology one will be. the reasoning flaw here is that it takes a specific aspect that is required for the research in psychology and argues that the more training one has the better at research one will be which which is too broad of a generalization.

the same reasoning mistake is made in question one because it assumes a correlation between amount of love and support will in turn lead too more happiness. your giving more love and support and in return your getting more happiness or becoming happier there fore MPH---->LS.
also based off the argument logically speaking providing love and support just means they will not be depressed and unhappy, it doesnt necessarily mean that somone will be happy or in turn become happier. assuming the opposite of depressed and unhappy is happier is part of the flaw.

hope this helps answer your quuestion
