Accepted Answer

Leitenberg and Henning (1995) found that a very high percentage of both males and females, 95%, report having sexual fantasies, indicating that sexual fantasizing is a common experience across genders.

Question 4

The _____ states that emotional feelings result when an individual becomes aware of a physiological response to an emotion-provoking stimulus (for example, feeling fear because of trembling).

Accepted Answer

The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that emotions occur as a result of physiological reactions to events. According to this theory, we feel emotion because of biological changes caused by stress. This means that the body's response to a stimulus (e.g., trembling) comes first, and the emotional experience (e.g., fear) follows this physiological response.

Question 5

Sevonne is sitting at her desk at work. She suddenly feels her stomach drop and heart pound. She then thinks about and remembers that she forgot to pay her rent yesterday.

Accepted Answer

The description given in the question matches the components of an emotion, which involves physiological arousal, cognitive appraisal, and behavioral expression. The other options do not fully encompass all three of these components.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

This theory states that the physiological arousal appears before the emotion is perceived.

Question 8

_____ refers to the feelings of sexual attraction, desire, and preference an individual has toward others.

Accepted Answer

Sexual orientation refers to an individual's enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions to men, women, or both sexes. It is an important aspect of an individual's identity and is not a choice or something that can be changed. Sexual motivation refers to the internal drive or desire to engage in sexual activity, while emotional orientation is not a commonly used term in relation to human sexuality. Gender preference is not an appropriate or accurate term to describe sexual orientation as it suggests a preference for certain gender roles rather than an attraction to specific sexes or genders.

However, homosexuality is not universally accepted in all cultures.

Question 14

Which of the following theories of emotion contains a cognitive component?

Accepted Answer

The Schachter-Singer theory proposes that emotion is determined by both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation of that arousal in relation to the situation. Therefore, it contains a cognitive component.

Question 15

_____ is a two-factor theory stating that for an emotion to occur, there must be 1)physiological arousal and 2)a cognitive interpretation or explanation of the arousal, allowing it to be labeled as a specific emotion.

Accepted Answer

The Schachter-Singer theory, also known as the two-factor theory of emotion, suggests that both physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation are required for experiencing an emotion. According to this theory, a person experiences a physiological response to a stimulus, which is then labeled or interpreted based on the situation and context, leading to the experience of a specific emotion.

Question 16

Male hormones are referred to as _____, whereas the female hormones are often referred to as _____.

Question 17

The _____ states that an emotion-provoking stimulus is transmitted simultaneously to the cerebral cortex, providing the conscious mental experience of the emotion, and to the sympathetic nervous system, causing the physiological arousal.

Accepted Answer

The Cannon-Bard theory proposes that the experience of an emotion-provoking stimulus causes both the conscious experience of the emotion and the physiological arousal to occur simultaneously and independently, rather than one causing the other.
