AP Psychology_Unit 7_Modules 56 & 57

The basic components of emotion are

• sympathetic arousal, parasympathetic inhibition, and cognitive labeling.

• physical gestures, facial expressions, and psychological drives.

• expressive behaviors, physiological arousal, and conscious experience.

• cognition, affect, and behavior.

• physiological reaction, psychological reaction, biopsychosocial reaction.

The James-Lange theory of emotion states that

• to experience emotion is to be aware of our physiological responses to an emotion-arousing event.

• the expression of emotion reduces our level of physiological arousal.

• an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers both physiological arousal and the subjective experience of emotion.

• to experience emotion we must be physically aroused and able to cognitively label the emotion.

• cognitive experiences of emotion determine the extent of our physiological arousal.

Who suggested that “we feel sorry because we cry . . . afraid because we tremble”?

• Stanley Schachter

• William James

• Walter Cannon

• Richard Lazarus

• Charles Darwin

Which of the following suggests that the experience of emotion results from an awareness of our own physiological responses to an emotion-arousing event?

• Cannon-Bard theory

• catharsis hypothesis

• James-Lange theory

• adaptation-level phenomenon

• relative deprivation principle

Cassandra's mother told her, “You know you are in love when your heart beats fast and you experience that unique trembling feeling inside.” This remark best illustrates the ________ theory of emotion.

• Cannon-Bard

• two-factor

• catharsis

• James-Lange

• the Cannon-Bard theory.

Ten-year-old Vito tells his friend, “When you notice that your knees knock, your hands sweat, and your stomach is in knots, then you really get scared.” This statement best illustrates the ________ theory.

• Cannon-Bard theory.

• James-Lange theory.

• catharsis hypothesis.

• relative deprivation principle.

• adaptation-level principle.

According to the Cannon-Bard theory, the body's arousal is related to the sympathetic nervous system in the same way that subjective awareness of emotion is related to the ________.

• cortex.

• hypothalamus.

• thalamus.

• parasympathetic nervous system.

• amygdala.

According to the Cannon-Bard theory, the experience of an emotion:

• depends on the intensity of physiological arousal.

• can occur only after physiological arousal.

• occurs simultaneously with physiological arousal.

• precedes physiological arousal.

• is intensified or lessened by physiological arousal.

The idea that an emotion-arousing stimulus is simultaneously routed to the cortex and to the sympathetic nervous system is central to the:

• James-Lange theory.

• relative deprivation principle.

• two-factor theory.

• Cannon-Bard theory.

• catharsis hypothesis.
