Multiple Choice

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, Schachter 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 which is then interpreted by the brain. Inferences about the causes of this arousal lead to an emotional experience
-(Scenario I) Which of the following is NOT consistent with the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion?

• A)Quadriplegics often report blunted emotional experiences to stimuli.
• B)Alone on a dark street, the sound of approaching footsteps causes fear and increases walking pace.
• C)Riding a roller coaster with your date might produce feelings of passion.
• D)Fearful and surprising stimuli both are associated with pupil dilation.
