Question 2

A careful examination of emotions can be traced back to ___________.&#10;A)B.F.Skinnerian emotion&#10;B)Charles Darwin&#10;C)The Renaissance&#10;D)World War I

Accepted Answer

Charles Darwin's book, "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" published in 1872, was one of the first influential works on the scientific study of emotions. It used observations and research to explore the physical expressions and universality of emotions across different cultures and species. This work laid the foundation for later theories and research on emotions, making B the best choice for the answer.

Question 3

Overall,research has indicated that __________ influences the amount of stress that people experience.&#10;A)the seriousness of life events&#10;B)degree of control people have over their lives&#10;C)intelligence&#10;D)physical health

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that individuals who perceive themselves as having a greater sense of control over their lives tend to experience less stress compared to those who feel they have little control. This can be seen in studies on workplace stress, where those with greater autonomy and decision-making power experience less stress than those with less control over their work.

Question 4

Which of the following is the better predictor of psychological and physical health,according to Lazarus?&#10;A)hassles&#10;B)uplifts&#10;C)life events&#10;D)negative attitudes

Accepted Answer

According to Lazarus, daily hassles are a better predictor of psychological and physical health than life events as it is the smaller stressors that accumulate over time and have a greater impact on our well-being. Uplifts and negative attitudes can also play a role, but they are not as significant as daily hassles.

Question 5

Researchers have concluded that the ________ is/are the most important part of the body in nonverbal communication.&#10;A)hands&#10;B)face&#10;C)legs&#10;D)torso

Accepted Answer

The face is the most expressive part of the body and conveys a wide range of emotions and information through facial expressions, eye contact, and other nonverbal cues.

Question 6

Bob tells Jan that he is feeling fine,but Jan doesn't believe him.What should she focus on to have the BEST chance of identifying any emotions Bob might be hiding?&#10;A)his words&#10;B)his body posture&#10;C)his vocal intonations&#10;D)his facial expressions

Accepted Answer

Facial expressions are the most reliable indicator of emotions as they are often involuntarily expressed and hard to fake. Therefore, Jan should focus on observing Bob's facial expressions to identify any emotions he might be hiding.

Question 7

The statement,&#34;If you expect something to make you feel bad,chances are it will&#34; is reflective of which of the following theories of emotion?&#10;A)somatic&#10;B)Darwinian&#10;C)appraisal&#10;D)opponent-process

Accepted Answer

The statement reflects the appraisal theory of emotion, which suggests that our emotions are shaped by our interpretations and evaluations of situations and events in our environment. In this case, the expectation of feeling bad is a type of appraisal or interpretation of the situation, which influences the emotional response.

Question 8

Unpredictability is stressful because:&#10;A)we don't know when &#34;uplifts&#34; will occur.&#10;B)we must expect too much control.&#10;C)we cannot plan for random events.&#10;D)hassles cancel good effects of &#34;uplifts.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Unpredictability disrupts our ability to plan and prepare for the future, which can be a source of stress. When we cannot anticipate or plan for random events, we may feel overwhelmed or uncertain about how to cope. This can lead to feelings of anxiety or frustration, particularly if we feel like we may not be able to manage unexpected challenges. While the other answer choices may be relevant to stress, they do not directly address the impact of unpredictability.

Question 9

Schacter-Singer's famous emotion experiment showed that:&#10;A)physiological arousal came after emotional arousal.&#10;B)a physiological aroused person will label his arousal as greater when people are duped or misled.&#10;C)emotional arousal is greater when people are duped or misled.&#10;D)emotions start in the cortex and are sent to one's internal organs.

Accepted Answer

Schacter-Singer's experiment, also known as the two-factor theory of emotion, demonstrated that physiological arousal alone could not account for emotional experiences. Participants were injected with epinephrine, which caused physiological arousal, and then either informed or misled about the effects of the injection. Participants who were misled (told that the injection would cause symptoms like itching and trembling) labeled their arousal as greater when they encountered a confederate who acted either angry or happy, indicating that the labeling of emotions is influenced by cognitive interpretation. This supports the idea that emotions are influenced not only by physiological arousal but also by cognitive interpretation of that arousal. Therefore, option B is correct.

Question 10

Which of the following is the better predictor of psychological and physical health,according to Lazarus?&#10;A)hassles&#10;B)uplifts&#10;C)life events&#10;D)negative attitudes

Accepted Answer

Lazarus believed that chronic exposure to daily hassles, rather than major life events or negative attitudes, was a better predictor of psychological and physical health. This is because hassles can accumulate over time and lead to chronic stress, which can have negative impacts on health.
