Albert Is Driving to the Airport to Catch a Flight

question 28

Essay

Albert is driving to the airport to catch a flight. On the way there he narrowly avoids a collision with another vehicle, which causes his heart to pound wildly and blood pressure to skyrocket. He arrives to the airport late and rushes inside. At the security check, an elderly man in front of Albert sets off the buzzer. He is confused and can't seem to understand that the security guard wants him to empty his pockets and as a result everyone behind him is being held up. Albert becomes irritated and loses his temper at the gentleman.
Using excitation transfer theory, explain how Albert's earlier near-accident might have influenced his later loss of temper at the airport.
