Exploring the question about approaches to studying social cognition and the speed of thinking, we encounter several candidate descriptions.
Option 1: 'Naïve scientist only' suggests that people always engage in systematic, hypothesis-testing reasoning. In contrast, social cognition research recognizes both quick, automatic processing and slower, more controlled processing, so labeling this as the sole approach is inaccurate.
Option 2: 'Cognitive miser only' posits that people generally rely on mental shortcuts and heuristics to conserve cognitive energy. While this captures the automatic side of thinking, it overlooks the evidence that people can also engage in deliberate, effortful processing when motivation and circumstances call for it.
Option 3: 'Motivated tactician only' emphasizes that individuals tailor their thinking to fit goals and motives, sometimes engaging in extended processing if motivated. However, this view does not account for the pervasive use of fast, automatic inferences that occur without deliberate aim, so calling it the only approach is too narrow.
Option 4: 'Cognitive miser + Motivated tactician' integrates both strands: people often rely on quick, automatic processing (cognitive miserliness) but can selectively shift to more effortful, controlled processing when motivation and goals justify it (motivated tactician). This dual-framework best captures the full spectrum of social-cognitive processing observed in research.
In summary, the question targets the recognition that rapid, automatic thinking is a valid mode under a broader dual-process perspective, and the combined view aligns with how social cognition is typically studied to explain both fast and deliberate reasoning in social judgments.
