Question Answered step-by-step Imagine a future where humans and Ornamuskigs (beings from a… Imagine a future where humans and Ornamuskigs (beings from a distant planet) made a joint colony on Mars where all citizens share the same dome and similar duties. The human colonists haven’t received all that much information about the Ornamuskigs before arriving at the colony, but other than a purple tint to their skin and a preference for wearing clothing made from coffee-pot-print fabric, they seem very similar to humans. Based on your knowledge of social psychology, what kinds of judgments or perceptions do you think the humans would make of the Ornamuskigs in general? That is, would the humans tend to see the Ornamuskigs as individuals and as equal in status to the humans? 1. In completing your assigned duties, you work with an Ornamuskig named Petichen, who is very efficient and clever, but very formal and reserved. According to the stereotype content model, what types of reactions and behaviors are you likely to direct toward Petichen? 2.The colony faces a terrible environmental event that threatens the colony. Based on Terror Management Theory, how would the human colonists’ feelings toward the Ornamuskigs change in the face of this threat?    3. imagine that the Ornamuskig candidate wins a colony-wide election. How could cognitive dissonance theory explain some humans’ refusal to accept the Ornamuskig win and to deny the validity of the election results?
