Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Yerkes-Dodson law, or the "inverted U-shaped curve," describes the relationship between arousal (stress) and performance. It suggests that low levels of stress can lead to low levels of performance, but as stress increases, performance also increases up to a certain point. After that point, further increases in stress lead to a decrease in performance. This can be seen in various situations, including studying for exams or performing on stage. Maslow and Rogers are associated with humanistic psychology, Watson and Skinner are associated with behaviorism, Deming and Juran are associated with quality management, and Adler and Jung are associated with psychodynamic approaches.
