a. lead you to eat more than you normally would.
b. lead you to eat less than you normally would.
c. either a or b, depending on what others were doing.
d. neither a nor b; others do not influence our eating.
Answer: C
Rationale: Dinner hosts may encourage guests to take second and even third helpings, and individuals with a reputation for big appetites will be prodded to eat the most. However, sometimes people self-consciously control their behavior so that others will see them in a certain way—a phenomenon known as impression management.
