Question 2

According to Plutchik,a mixture of love,anger,and fear produces the emotion of
A) guilt.
B) jealousy.
C) avoidance.
D) depression.

Accepted Answer

Plutchik's wheel of emotions states that a mixture of love, anger, and fear produces the emotion of jealousy. Love can be intense and passionate, anger can arise from feelings of betrayal or possessiveness, and fear can stem from the threat of losing the loved one. All these emotions combined can lead to the complex emotion of jealousy.

Question 3

When your body temperature is at its daily low point,you are more likely to
A) feel "down" emotionally.
B) have a positive mood.
C) be efficient, creative, and better at problem-solving.
D) be helpful and peaceful.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that when our body temperature is at its daily low point, we are more likely to feel "down" emotionally. This is because our body's circadian rhythm, which controls our sleep-wake cycle and body temperature, also influences our mood and energy levels. When our body temperature is low, our mood and energy levels may also be low.

Question 4

According to Robert Plutchik,our many emotional experiences can be analyzed in terms of
A) eight primary emotions.
B) love, fear, and rage.
C) levels of arousal.
D) physiological changes and context.

Accepted Answer

Robert Plutchik proposed that there are eight primary emotions: joy, sadness, trust, disgust, fear, anger, surprise, and anticipation. These emotions are biologically based and universally experienced by all human beings, regardless of culture or upbringing. Plutchik also suggested that these emotions can combine to form more complex emotions, and that emotions exist along a continuum of intensity.

Question 5

Which element of emotion is the private,subjective experience of having an emotion?
A) emotional expressions
B) emotional feelings
C) physiological changes
D) adaptive behaviors

Accepted Answer

Emotional feelings refer to the private, subjective experience of having an emotion. They are the internal experience that people have when they experience an emotion. Emotional expressions refer to the ways in which emotions are outwardly displayed, physiological changes refer to the bodily changes that occur during emotional experiences, and adaptive behaviors refer to the actions people take in response to their emotions.

Question 6

Plutchik is likely to characterize an emotion such as guilt as being the result of
A) the action of a single, powerful hormone.
B) a specific pattern of physiological reactions.

Accepted Answer

Plutchik's theory of emotions posits that guilt is a secondary emotion that arises from a mixture of several primary emotions, such as sadness and fear. Therefore, C is the best choice. A and B are unlikely because emotions are the result of complex interactions between multiple physiological and cognitive factors, rather than a single hormone or a specific pattern of physiological reactions. D is partially correct, but it is too vague to fully capture Plutchik's concept of guilt as a specific secondary emotion with its own unique characteristics.
