As discussed in the text, the sociologist Phil Kunz once performed a study in which he sent 578 Christmas cards to a sample of complete strangers living in Chicago, Illinois. What happened?

a. Almost none of them sent him a card in return, since they didn't know who he was. However, a small but significant minority ( 8%) were apparently very upset with the researcher. b. The vast majority of them ( 95%) actually sent him a card in return or telephoned him to try to find out who he was. c. A significant minority of them ( 20%) actually acted as though they knew who he was and sent him a card in return. d. Essentially, nothing—although he did receive a handful of cards (three or four) from people who probably mistakenly thought they knew who he was.
