I got all 8 correct. My take is that programs that make participants feel like they have low status are unlikely to succeed.

That seems wrong, after all, if you look at history, it's clear that making people feel like they have low status is a great way to control them.

Which might be relevant if the programs were rated on how well they controlled a populace, rather than in their impact on life outcomes.
