Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hanin's individual zone of optimal functioning theory contradicts the inverted-U theory as it suggests that objective moderate arousal results in an individual's optimal performance. This contradicts the inverted-U theory which suggests that there is a bell-shaped curve relationship between arousal and performance, where there is an optimal level of arousal for each individual, and any further increase or decrease in arousal results in a decline in performance. Hanin's theory suggests that individuals have different optimal levels of arousal and that this can vary based on factors such as personality, task difficulty, and experience.
