Jacob notices a snake slithering up the river bank while he is fishing. The thalamus of Jacob's brain immediately stimulates his autonomic nervous system, which, in turn, increases the rate of his breathing and heartbeat. At the same time, Jacob's brain sends signals to his cerebral cortex which causes Jacob to perceive the emotional experience of fear.

Define a drive and a need with regard to drive reduction theory. Give specific examples of each and explain how they are related to one another. Answer: A drive is an aroused state of tension that occurs because of a physiological need. A drive can be in the form of a psychological itch that requires scratching. A need is a deprivation that energizes the drive to eliminate or reduce the deprivation. Examples of need include food, water, and sex. Generally, psychologists think of needs as underlying the drives. A person may have a need for water; the drive that accompanies that need is the person’s feeling of being thirsty. Drive pertains to a psychological state, whereas need involves a physiological one. Usually but not always, needs and drives are closely associated. Drives do not always follow from needs. For example, if a person is deprived of oxygen because of a gas leak, he has a need for oxygen. A person may feel lightheaded but may never experience the drive for oxygen that might lead him to open a window. 152. Explain the concept of homeostasis. Give appropriate examples. Answer: Homeostasis is the body’s tendency to maintain an equilibrium, or a steady state or balance. Hundreds of biological states in the body must be maintained within a certain range; these include temperature, blood sugar level, potassium and sodium levels, and oxygenation. When a person dives into an icy swimming pool, the body uses energy to maintain its normal temperature. Similarly when the person steps into the heat of a summer day, the body releases excess heat by sweating. These physiological changes occur automatically to keep his body in an optimal state of functioning. 153. Give a brief account of Yerkes-Dodson law. Answer: According to the Yerkes-Dodson law, performance is best under conditions of moderate arousal rather than either low or high arousal. At the low end of arousal, an individual may be too lethargic to perform tasks well; at the high end, he may not be able to concentrate. 154. Discuss the psychological factors that contribute to obesity. Answer: Time and place affect a person’s eating habits. Learned associations of foods with a particular place and time may cause individuals to eat even when they are not hungry or do not need to eat (thus contributing to obesity). 155. Describe the main characteristics of a person with anorexia nervosa as listed by the American Psychiatric Association. What are the circumstances that may contribute to the development of this condition? Answer: The American Psychiatric Association lists four main characteristics of anorexia nervosa: weight less than 85 percent of what is considered normal for age and height; an intense fear of gaining weight; persistent behavior to prevent weight gain; and a distorted body image. Most individuals with anorexia nervosa are mostly non-Latino female White adolescents or young adults from well-educated middle- and upper-income families. Genes play a substantial role in anorexia nervosa. Most psychologists believe that although social factors and experiences may play a role in triggering dieting, the physical effects of dieting may change the neural networks that then sustain the disordered pattern, in a kind of vicious cycle. In terms of social factors, problems in family functioning are increasingly thought to be involved in the appearance of eating disorders in adolescence. 156. Discuss why it is often more difficult to identify that someone has bulimia nervosa as opposed to anorexia nervosa. Answer: Because bulimia nervosa occurs within a normal weight range, the disorder is often difficult to detect. An individual with bulimia nervosa usually keeps the disorder a secret and experiences a great deal of self-disgust and shame. The affected individual may appear relatively healthy on the outside while destroying his or her body on the inside by self-induced vomiting or the use of laxatives. On the other hand, individuals with anorexia nervosa often starve themselves and are very thin. 157. Describe the characteristics of individuals with binge eating disorder (BED). Answer: Individuals with binge eating disorder (BED) frequently eat alone because of embarrassment or guilt, and they feel ashamed and disgusted with themselves after bingeing. These individuals usually eat quickly and eat a great deal even when they are not hungry to the point of becoming uncomfortably full. In contrast to someone with bulimia nervosa, individuals with BED do not try to purge. 158. Outline Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, and provide examples of how each level of motivation might be satisfied. Answer: Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory states that human needs must be satisfied in the following sequence: physiological needs, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. The strongest needs (physiological needs) are at the base of the hierarchy, and the weakest (self-actualization) are at the top. According to this hierarchy, people are motivated to satisfy their need for food first and to fulfill their need for safety before their need for love. Examples of the needs hierarchy in the specified sequence may include: water, shelter, family or friends, career satisfaction, and meditation. 159. Explain the self-determination theory. Answer: The self-determination theory asserts that there are three basic organismic needs: competence, relatedness, and autonomy. The word organismic here means that these psychological needs are innate and exist in every person. The theory holds that all individuals have the capacity for growth and fulfillment in them, ready to emerge if given the right context. Importantly, from the perspective of self-determination theory, these organismic needs do not arise from deficits. 160. Explain “competence” with regard to self-determination theory. Answer: Competence is the first organismic need described by self-determination theory. Competence is met when a person feels that he or she is able to bring about desired outcomes. Competence motivation involves self-efficacy which is the belief that a person has the competence to accomplish a given goal or task. It also involves mastery which is the sense that the person can gain skills and overcome obstacles. One domain in which competence needs may be met is in the realm of achievement. Some individuals are highly motivated to succeed and spend considerable effort striving to excel. 161. Differentiate between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Give appropriate examples of each. Answer: Intrinsic motivation is based on internal factors such as organismic needs (competence, relatedness, and autonomy), as well as curiosity, challenge, and fun. When a person is intrinsically motivated, he/she engages in a behavior because he/she enjoys it. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation involves external incentives such as rewards and punishers. When a person is extrinsically motivated, he/she engages in a behavior for some external payoff or to avoid an external punishment. For example, some students study hard because they are internally motivated to put forth considerable effort and achieve high quality in their work. This is known as intrinsic motivation. Other students study hard because they want to score good grades or avoid parental disapproval. This is known as extrinsic motivation. 162. Is a polygraph test a reliable method for measuring arousal? Justify your answer with reasons. Answer: Experts argue that a polygraph errs just under 50 percent of the time. The problem with the polygraph is that heart rate, breathing, and skin conductance level (SCL) can increase for reasons other than lying—for instance, because a person is nervous and not necessarily guilty. 163. On a hiking trip, Alex encounters a bear in the woods and begins to run away. How would the James-Lange theory and the Cannon Bard theory of emotion explain Alex’s fear of the bear? Answer: According to the James-Lange theory, an individual feels emotion only after experiencing physiological reactions. When Alex sees the bear, he begins to run away. His aroused body then sends sensory messages to his brain, at which point emotion is perceived. Alex does not run away from the spot because he is afraid; rather, he is afraid because he is running away. According to the Cannon-Bard theory, emotion and physiological reactions happen simultaneously. When Alex sees the bear, the thalamus of Alex’s brain does two things simultaneously. First, it stimulates the autonomic nervous system to produce the physiological changes involved in emotion (increased heart rate, rapid breathing); second, it sends messages to his cerebral cortex, where the experience of emotion is perceived. 164. Explain the two-factor theory of emotion as put forth by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer with an example. Answer: In the two-factor theory of emotion, emotion is determined by two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive labeling. The theory states that often a person’s body sends out ambiguous messages about what is going on in the world. The person takes those messages and looks for explanations in his immediate circumstances, and that is what produces emotions. For example, consider the case of a student who is late for an important examination. He sprints across campus as fast as he can, arriving just in time for the test. As he looks over the questions, his heart starts racing, his breathing becomes fast, and he feels sweaty. Is he nervous about the test or is he just recovering from his run to the classroom? The two-factor theory suggests that he just might mistake his bodily sensations as indications that he is scared of the test. 165. Give a brief account of the facial feedback hypothesis. Answer: According to the facial feedback hypothesis, facial expressions can influence emotions as well as reflect them. Facial muscles send signals to the brain that help a person recognize the emotion he/she is experiencing. For example, a person feels happier when he/she smiles and sadder when he/she frowns.

Extrinsic motivation is based on factors such as organismic needs (competence, relatedness, and autonomy), as well as curiosity, challenge, and fun. Answer: False 180. Intrinsic motivation involves incentives such as rewards and punishers. Answer: False 181. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is responsible for rapid reactions to threats. Answer: False 182. When the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated, blood pressure drops, heart rate and breathing slow down, and food digestion increases. Answer: False 183. According to the James-Lange theory, emotion results from physiological states triggered by stimuli in the environment: Emotion occurs after physiological reactions. Answer: True 184. The facial expression of emotions varies significantly across cultures. Answer: False 185.
