Question 1

Which theory of emotion BEST explains how "putting on a happy face" can actually make you feel better?

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that facial expressions can influence emotions by sending signals to the brain. In other words, if you put on a happy face, it can actually cause you to feel happier.

Question 2

You promised a friend to pick him up after work.As you arrive at home,your friend calls you and says that he has been waiting for over an hour for you to pick him up.You realize that you have not lived up to your promise and feel shame.Richard Lazarus would say that your feeling of shame occurred because of your

Accepted Answer

According to Richard Lazarus' Cognitive Appraisal Theory, emotions are a result of our cognitive appraisal of a situation. In this case, the individual feels shame because they perceive that they have not lived up to their promise to their friend, which is their appraisal of the situation.

Question 3

Which of the following theories states that sensations from facial expressions help define what emotion a person feels?

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis is the theory that suggests that the sensations from facial expressions help define what emotion a person feels. It proposes that the facial muscles send signals to the brain that help individuals recognize the emotion they are experiencing.

Question 4

In one study,compared to normal participants,participants injected with botox showed less brain activity while they imitated angry faces.Thus,it is indeed possible that these participants felt less emotion as a consequence of the botox,according to which theory of emotion?

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that facial expressions can influence emotional experience. Botox injections prevent certain facial muscles from contracting, and therefore limit the ability to create certain facial expressions. In the given study, participants injected with botox showed less brain activity while they imitated angry faces, which suggests that their ability to create the facial expression of anger was limited due to the botox injection. The reduced brain activity may be a result of reduced feedback from the facial muscles, leading to less emotional experience. This supports the facial feedback hypothesis.

Question 5

Which theory explains that emotions cause innately programmed changes in facial expressions with these sensations from the face providing cues to the brain that help us determine what emotion we are feeling?

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis explains that emotions cause innately programmed changes in facial expressions with these sensations from the face providing cues to the brain that help us determine what emotion we are feeling.

Question 6

In an experiment,people rated how funny they thought cartoons were while holding a pen crosswise in their mouths.Those who held the pen in their teeth thought the cartoons were funnier than did people who held the pen in their lips.These results are best explained by the

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis suggests that facial expressions can influence emotions. Holding the pen crosswise in the mouth, which mimics a smile, may have led to a more positive emotional state and therefore influenced participants' ratings of the cartoons as funnier.

Question 7

Which two psychologists advocate the facial feedback hypothesis?

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis is primarily associated with the work of Paul Ekman and Carroll Izard. Both psychologists have conducted extensive research on the role of facial expressions in emotional experiences and have argued that changes in facial expressions can lead to changes in emotional states. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Izard and Ekman.

Question 8

In an experiment,people rated how funny they thought cartoons were while holding a pen crosswise in their mouths.Those who held the pen in their teeth thought the cartoons were funnier than did people who held the pen in their lips.These results are best explained by the

Accepted Answer

The best explanation for this result is that holding the pen crosswise in the teeth caused the subjects to smile (even though they were not aware of it) and thus find the cartoons funnier, while holding it in the lips caused them to frown and find the cartoons less funny. This is due to the facial feedback hypothesis, which suggests that the facial expressions we make can influence the emotions we experience.

Question 9

According to the facial feedback hypothesis,people's emotional experiences are influenced by

Accepted Answer

The facial feedback hypothesis proposes that people's emotional experiences are influenced by their own facial expressions. This means that the facial expressions that people make can actually affect the emotions they experience. For example, if someone forces themselves to smile, they may actually start to feel happier because their facial expression is sending signals to their brain to release feel-good neurotransmitters.

Question 12

When her mother-in-law criticizes her cooking,hairstyle,etc.Marie used to become angry and hurt.However,Marie now tries to feel compassion for her mother­in­law's insecurities and become nicer toward her,since she has learned to

Accepted Answer

Marie has learned to change her attributions (how she interprets her mother-in-law's comments) and emotional appraisals (how she feels about them). Instead of taking the criticism personally, she tries to understand that her mother-in-law's comments stem from her own insecurities and responds with compassion instead of anger.

Question 13

You were recently awarded a full academic scholarship to a prestigious university.Richard Lazarus would say that your feeling of pride occur because you have linked yourself with this accomplishment through

Accepted Answer

According to Richard Lazarus' appraisal theory, emotions are a result of our cognitive appraisal or evaluation of an event or situation. In this case, the feeling of pride is a result of the individual's appraisal of their accomplishment of being awarded a full academic scholarship to a prestigious university. The individual has evaluated this achievement positively, leading to a feeling of pride.

Question 14

Which of the following theorists believes that "making faces" can actually produce emotions?

Accepted Answer

Paul Ekman is known for his research on the universality of facial expressions and how they are related to emotions. He found that certain facial expressions are linked to specific emotions and can even produce those emotions in the person making the expression.

Question 15

In therapy,Lauren has learned to laugh at another driver's childish behavior rather than become very angry at the driver.Thus,therapy has helped Lauren to minimize her anger by teaching her how to

Accepted Answer

Therapy has helped Lauren in minimizing her anger by teaching her how to change her emotional appraisals. This means that she has learned to alter her perception of the situation and see it in a less threatening manner, which reduces the intensity of her emotional response. It is not about paying more attention to her facial feedback or suppressing her emotions, as this can lead to emotional suppression and potential negative outcomes. Additionally, unconscious arousal reduction is not a strategy actively taught in therapy, but rather a physiological response that occurs naturally in some individuals.

Question 16

Regarding the facial feedback hypothesis,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

Injecting participants with Botox actually caused a decrease in the intensity of their facial expressions and thus had an effect on the emotions they expressed, but not necessarily on the emotions they felt. Studies have shown that the facial feedback hypothesis holds true for a range of emotions, not just happiness, and that making facial expressions can also have an impact on hormone levels and pain perception.

Question 17

Regarding the facial feedback hypothesis,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

The statement that holding a pen crosswise between one's teeth caused one to frown and feel sad is actually the opposite of what the facial feedback hypothesis proposes. The hypothesis suggests that making a facial expression associated with a certain emotion (such as smiling) can actually cause one to feel that emotion. Thus, holding a pen between one's teeth in a way that forces the facial muscles into a smile-like position should actually result in feeling happier, not sadder. This particular study actually supports the alternative view that facial expressions may be influenced by one's emotional state, rather than causing emotions.

Question 18

Having facial expressions and becoming aware of them is what influences our private emotional experiences,according to

Accepted Answer

Carrol Izard's theory of emotion highlights the role of facial expressions in shaping and influencing our subjective emotional experiences.

Question 19

Regarding emotional appraisals,which of the following statements is FALSE?

Accepted Answer

The theory of emotional appraisals was actually developed by Lazarus and his colleagues, not Cannon and Bard. Cannon and Bard proposed the theory of emotion called the Cannon-Bard theory, which suggests that emotional feelings and physiological responses occur simultaneously without one causing the other.

Question 20

When a happy person makes and holds an angry look,he or she will probably notice

Accepted Answer

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling and regulating involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. Facial expressions can affect the autonomic nervous system, which in turn can influence emotions. Therefore, a happy person who makes and holds an angry look will likely notice changes in their physiological responses and may also experience a shift in their emotional state.
