Yu et al.'s (1997) study on mice supports the adrenaline (hormonal) explanation of stress as they found that ______.

increased adrenaline in mice caused changes in organs associated with stress-related diseases

decreased adrenaline in mice caused changes in organs associated with stress-related diseases

increased adrenaline in mice had no effect on organs associated with stress-related diseases

increased cortisol in mice caused changes in organs associated with stress-related diseases

A limitation of Yu et al.'s (1997) study on mice to support the adrenaline (hormonal) explanation of stress is ______.

the research lacked internal validity because possible confounding variables had not been controlled

it is not generalisable as human behaviour is more complex and therefore cannot be explained using animal participants

it is generalisable as human behaviour can be explained using animal participants

the mice displayed demand characteristics

A strength of Yu et al.'s (1997) study on mice to support the adrenaline (hormonal) explanation of stress is ______.

The adrenaline (hormonal) explanation of stress is an example of _____.

psychodynamic reductionism

behavioural reductionism

cognitive reductionism

biological reductionism

A strength of reducing the explanation of stress to hormones is researchers can _______.

isolate the IV (hormones) and DV (stress) to identify causal relationships

isolate the IV (hormones) and DV (stress) to identify casual relationships

isolate the IV (hormones) and some extraneous variables to identify causal relationships

isolate the IV (neurotransmitters) and DV (stress) to identify causal relationships

A limitation of reducing the explanation of stress to hormones is _______.

no possible causal factors are ignored

other possible causal factors are ignored

a few possible causal factors are ignored

every possible causal factor is ignored

A strength of research support for the adrenaline (hormonal) explanation of stress is ______.

hormones are not easily measured providing subjective data

hormones are easily measured providing subjective data

hormones are easily measured providing objective data

hormones are difficult to measure making it hard to provide objective data

A strength of being objective when researching the effect of hormones on stress means researchers can ____ to assess the stress impact and measure individual stress responses.

take measures of neurotransmitters before and after exposure to a stressor

take measures of hormones before exposure to a stressor

take measures of hormones after exposure to a stressor

take measures of hormones before and after exposure to a stressor

A strength of the hormonal explanation of stress is the identification of causal links allows ______.

the development of appropriate therapies to treat stress

the development of appropriate therapies to mistreat stress

the development of appropriate theories to treat stress

the development of inappropriate therapies to treat stress
