Answer five questions about Social Sciences and get instant feedback.

Question 1

What is a way to spot who is most important for connecting others in a network?

Answer options

  • Centrality
  • Network density
  • Homophily
  • Reciprocity

Key Idea

Centrality comes in flavors like degree (many links) and betweenness (bridge between groups), and a high-betweenness person can control what information spreads across the network.

Question 2

Inner push that makes starting or continuing an action feel worth doing

Answer options

  • Motivation
  • Emotion
  • Habit
  • Memory

Key Idea

Motivation often comes in two flavors: intrinsic (doing something because it feels rewarding) and extrinsic (doing it for a payoff), and they can pull you in different directions.

Question 3

What can hide a missing spot in vision by filling in the blind spot with nearby patterns?

Answer options

  • Perception
  • Memory
  • Reflexes
  • Attention

Key Idea

Your brain constantly guesses what should be there, so the blind spot disappears, and you can see this by closing one eye and watching a dot vanish on a simple test.

Question 4

What often starts with spending long periods of time in a community to learn daily life from the inside?

Answer options

  • Ethnography
  • Opinion poll
  • Lab experiment
  • Survey research

Key Idea

Ethnographers often do participant observation, joining everyday activities while taking fieldnotes, because trust and small moments can reveal meanings that interviews alone usually miss.
