Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Arousal theory suggests that people have an optimal level of tension. This means that they have a level of tension that is just right for them, not too high or too low, and that this level varies depending on the person and the situation. When arousal levels are too low, people can feel bored or disinterested, while when they are too high, people can feel anxious or overwhelmed. The optimal level of tension is said to lead to optimal performance and engagement in activities.
