Multiple Choice

Use the following to answer questions
Scenario I
Scenario I.Emotion can be defined as a positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity.The nature of this association has been intensely debated throughout the history of psychological science.An early theory of emotion was postulated by James and Lange.These psychologists argued that stimuli trigger different patterns of physiological activity in the body,and these in turn produce different emotional experiences in the brain.Contemporaneously,Cannon and Bard argued that a stimulus independently produces both physiological activity in the body and an emotional experience in the brain.Several decades later,Schacter and Singer argued that both of these theories are only partially correct.According to their two-factor theory,Schacter and Singer postulated that stimuli produce general physiological arousal that is then interpreted by the brain.Inferences about the causes of this arousal lead to an emotional experience
-(Scenario I) Which statement is NOT consistent with the two-factor theory of emotion?

• A)The range of emotional experiences exceeds the range of physiological responses to stimuli.
• B)Muscle pain is interpreted as desirable while lifting weights at the gym but considered worrisome while sitting at one's desk.
• C)Emotion is partly the product of the brain being exquisitely sensitive to subtle differences in physiological arousal.
• D)Anger and fear produce similar increases in heart rate.
