Question 1

Which of the following is not a stimulant?&#10;A)alcohol&#10;B)nicotine&#10;C)cocaine&#10;D)caffeine

Accepted Answer

Alcohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.

Question 2

What do we call biologically determined,innate patterns of behavior?&#10;A)drives&#10;B)instincts&#10;C)releasing behaviors&#10;D)universal behaviors

Accepted Answer

Biologically determined, innate patterns of behavior are called instincts.

Question 3

The process by which the facial muscles send messages to the brain about the basic emotion being expressed is called ____________.&#10;A)primary emotional processing&#10;B)internal emotion work&#10;C)facial feedback&#10;D)body language

Accepted Answer

The process by which the facial muscles send messages to the brain about the basic emotion being expressed is called facial feedback. This process involves the activation of specific facial muscles and the sensory information they send to the brain, which contributes to our subjective experience of emotion.

Question 4

Which theory states that a stimulus triggers physiological changes that produce emotion?&#10;A)Cannon-Bard theory&#10;B)James-Lange theory&#10;C)Schachter-Singer theory&#10;D)commonsense view of emotions

Accepted Answer

The James-Lange theory proposes that physiological changes (such as increased heart rate or sweating) precede and cause emotional experiences, suggesting that emotions are a result of bodily responses to a stimulus.

Question 5

Some psychologists believe that an organism's behavior is motivated by the need to achieve a state of balance in which the body functions effectively-a state called ______.&#10;A)unbalance&#10;B)acquiescence&#10;C)propinquity&#10;D)homeostasis

Accepted Answer

The term described in the question is homeostasis - a state in which an organism maintains a stable internal environment, and its behavior is motivated by the need to achieve this balance. The other choices (unbalance, acquiescence, and propinquity) do not accurately describe this concept.

Question 6

Which of the following is at the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs?&#10;A)Physiological needs&#10;B)Cognitive needs&#10;C)Self-actualization needs&#10;D)Transcendence needs

Accepted Answer

Transcendence needs are at the top of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which was added later to the original model.

Question 7

One interesting thing about incentive approaches is that incentives __________.&#10;A)are inherited&#10;B)exist inside a narrow collection of internal stimuli&#10;C)exist independently of any need or level of arousal&#10;D)only work for adults

Accepted Answer

Incentives exist independently of any need or level of arousal. They are external stimuli that motivate behavior by offering a reward or consequence. This applies to both children and adults, and inherited traits or internal stimuli do not influence incentive approaches.

Question 8

The pursuit of an activity for its own sake is propelled by ________________.&#10;A)the need for affiliation&#10;B)intrinsic motivation&#10;C)biological drives&#10;D)performance goals

Accepted Answer

The pursuit of an activity for its own sake is propelled by intrinsic motivation, which is the innate desire to engage in an activity for the inherent pleasure or satisfaction it brings, rather than for external rewards or outcomes. It is different from extrinsic motivation, where the drive to engage in an activity comes from the desire to attain a specific outcome or reward.

Question 9

In arousal theory,people are said to have a (an)_________ level of tension.&#10;A)ultimate&#10;B)lower&#10;C)optimal&#10;D)high

Accepted Answer

Arousal theory suggests that individuals have an optimal level of tension, that is, the level at which they perform best. When the level of tension is too low, individuals tend to be bored and uninterested, while when it is too high, individuals tend to feel anxious and overwhelmed. The optimal level of tension is believed to vary from person to person and task to task.

Question 10

Schachter and Singer proposed that two things have to happen before emotion occurs: _____ and _____.&#10;A)physical arousal;fight or flight&#10;B)cognition;behavior&#10;C)physical arousal;labeling&#10;D)behavior;physical arousal

Accepted Answer

Schachter and Singer proposed that in order for emotion to occur, there must be both physical arousal and a cognitive label or interpretation of that arousal. Therefore, choice C (physical arousal and labeling) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D do not accurately reflect Schachter and Singer's two-factor theory of emotion.
