Q

In the body illusion experiment, the key result was that

tends to prevent individuals from taking preventative measures for good health

40

Gilbert and Wilson coined the term ______ to encompass a number of biases and mechanisms that protect people from experiencing extreme negative emotions

Q

The psychological immune system is one reason why people are so poor at ____

Q

They psychological immune system follow this pattern:
