다음 빈칸에 들어갈 가장 적절한 표현은?
Consider the results of one well-known psychological study. People were read a word describing a personal attribute that confirmed, countered, or avoided gender stereotypes. They were then given a name and asked to judge whether it was male or female. People responded more quickly when _________________________; so people were faster to the trigger when it was “strong John” and “gentle Jane” than when it was “strong Jane” and “gentle John.” Only when subjects were actively asked to try to counter the stereotype and had a sufficiently low “cognitive constraint” (i.e., enough time) were they able to overcome these automatic responses.

they were asked to try to counter the stereotype than when they were not

the stereotypical attribute matched the name than when it did not

the word was neutral to gender stereotypes than when it was not

they avoided gender stereotypes than when they did not

the sufficient time was given than when it was not

빈칸에는 “the stereotypical attribute matched the name than when it did not”(고정관념상의 속성이 이름과 일치할 때)이 들어간다.
빈칸 뒤 “so”가 이끄는 절에서 “strong John”과 “gentle Jane”이 “strong Jane”과 “gentle John”보다 빨랐다고 하므로, 속성과 이름의 성별이 고정관념대로 맞을 때 반응이 빨랐다는 내용이 와야 한다.
“they were asked to try to counter the stereotype”은 마지막 문장에서 자동 반응을 극복하는 조건으로 나올 뿐, 더 빨랐다는 내용이 아니다.
“the word was neutral to gender stereotypes”는 지문의 예가 중립이 아닌 고정관념 일치 사례라는 점과 맞지 않는다.
“they avoided gender stereotypes”는 고정관념대로 빨리 반응했다는 예시와 반대이다.
“the sufficient time was given”도 자동 반응 극복의 조건이지, 더 빠른 반응의 조건이 아니다.
