You and your roommate are studying quietly in your room. Your roommate asks if you would mind if s/he turned on the stereo and listened to some music while y'all study. Given what you have read this week (Martin, Wogalter, & Furlano, 1988; Balch & Lewis, 1996), what would your response be? Would your answer depend on what your roommate wanted to play? Might you have given a different answer if you had been asked the question prior to this week's readings?
