The color red has been shown to induce greater aggression in people than the color blue. Researchers conducted a study to determine whether such colorinduced aggression could influence the amount that consumers were willing to pay for an identical product in online auction and online negotiation scenarios.
The researchers photographed a single item against each of four background colors: blue, gray, white, and red. Using a computer, each participant in the study viewed the item against exactly one of the four background colors. Half of the participants were told the item was up for auction and were asked to submit their highest bid for the item. The other half of the participants were told to negotiate a price with the seller and were asked to offer the highest amount that they would be willing to pay for the item.
The researchers expected that participants who viewed the red background would typically behave more aggressively than those who viewed the blue background, Among the auction group, the researchers hypothesized that more aggressive participants would submit higher bids as they tried to beat other potential bidders, Among the negotiation group, the researchers hypothesized that more aggressive participants would make lower offers as they tried to compete against the seller to get the best deal.
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the relationship between the study's results and the researchers' hypotheses?

• A. The results in the auction scenario were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses, but the results in the negotiation scenario contradicted the researchers' hypotheses,
• B. The results in both the auction and negotiation scenarios contradicted the researchers' hypotheses.
• C. The results in both the auction and negotiation scenarios were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses.
• D. Neither the results in the auction nor the negotiation scenarios are relevant to the researchers' hypotheses.
• E. The results in the negotiation scenario were consistent with the researchers' hypotheses, but the results in the auction scenario contradicted the researchers! hypotheses.

Which of the following does the passage NOT indicate is practiced by one or more companies in emerging markets discussed in the study?
