Researchers asked some participants to think of six times they had behaved assertively and asked other participants to think of twelve times they had behaved assertively, and then asked all participants to rate how assertive they thought they really were. Participants who tried to generate six examples of assertive behaviors rated themselves as more assertive than did participants who tried to generate twelve examples. The point that this study illustrates is that
   a.   more assertive people will be able to generate more examples of their past assertive behavior.
   b.   generating examples of assertiveness creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
   c.   people use the availability heuristic to make judgments about themselves as well as about other people.
   d.   people with well-elaborated schemas for assertiveness will be able to generate more examples of assertive behaviors.
