ESSAY

Describe and give an example of each of the three types of motives; and explain the importance of incentives.

ANS:

(1) Biological motives are based on biological needs that must be met for survival. The most important biological motives are hunger, thirst, pain avoidance, and needs for air, sleep, elimination of wastes, and regulation of body temperature. Biological motives are innate.

(2) Stimulus motives express our needs for stimulation and information. Examples include activity, curiosity, exploration, manipulation, and physical contact. While stimulus motives also appear to be innate, they are not strictly necessary for survival.

(3) Learned motives help explain many human activities, such as making music or blogging on the computer. Many learned motives are related to needs for power, affiliation, approval, status, security, and achievement. Fear and aggression also appear to be greatly affected by learning.

The “pull” of a goal is called its incentive value, which is the goal’s appeal beyond its ability to fill a need. Some goals are so desirable, such as chocolate pie, that they can motivate behavior in the absence of an internal need. Other goals are so low in incentive value, such as nutritious insects, that they may be rejected even if they meet the internal need.

Lynda is flying from Jackson, Mississippi to Tokyo, Japan. Explain why jet lag occurs, how it will affect her overall mood and performance, and what she can do before, during and after she gets to Tokyo to minimize these “jet lag” effects.

ANS:

Answer will include that circadian rhythms (one’s bodily cycle) are most noticeable after a major change in time schedules. Businesspersons and other time zone travelers tend to perform poorly when their body rhythms are disturbed. If individuals travel great distances east or west, the peaks and valleys of their circadian rhythms will be out of phase with the sun and clocks. For example, they might be wide-awake at midnight and feel like they’re sleepwalking during the day. Jet lag causes fatigue, irritability, upset stomach, and depression. For major time zone shifts of five hours or more in this case, it can take up to two weeks to resynchronize. Adjusting to jet lag is slowest when you stay indoors, where you can sleep and eat on “home time.” Getting outdoors speeds adaptation. A few intermittent five-minute periods of exposure to bright light early in the morning are helpful for resetting your circadian rhythm. In general, if you can anticipate an upcoming body rhythm change, it is best to preadapt to your new schedule. Pre-adaptation refers to gradually matching your sleep-waking cycle to a new time schedule. Before traveling, for instance, you should go to sleep one hour later (or earlier) each day until your sleep cycle matches the time at your new destination.

ESSAY

Your friend has just finished her freshmen year in college, and she has gained 15 pounds. Explain to your friend why her weight gain during her freshmen year is quite common and describe how behavioral dieting will help her lose and then maintain a healthy weight.

ANS:

Answer will include that many college freshmen gain weight rapidly during their first three months on campus (the famous “Frosh 15”).

DIF: Moderate REF: Module 9.2

MSC: TYPE: Factors that contribute to this weight gain include external eating cues, such as the availability and variety of foods, the “supermarket diet,” and emotional eating. All-you-can-eat dining halls in the dorms and nighttime snacking appear to be some of the main culprits. One tends to eat more when a variety of foods are easily accessible, convenient, and low-cost as found in what scientists call the “supermarket diet,” which includes foods with high fat content, such as cookies, cheese, and peanut butter. College students also eat out a great deal at restaurants, which usually serve high-fat foods and larger portions. The presence of others can also affect whether people overeat (or under eat) depending on how much everyone else is eating and how important it is to impress them. One also eats more when emotionally upset, whether depression or anxious, two emotions that are quite common on a college campus. These young people are also body conscious, so being overweight in a fat-c

Explain the causes of anorexia and bulimia.

ANS:

Answer will include that women and men who suffer from eating disorders are extremely dissatisfied with their bodies. Usually, they have distorted views of themselves and exaggerated fears of becoming fat. Many overestimate their body size by 25 percent of more. As a result, they think they are disgustingly “fat” when they are actually wasting away in the case of anorexics or are of normal size if bulimic. Many of these problems are related to harmful messages in the media. Girls who spend a lot of time reading teen magazines are more likely to have distorted body images and unrealistic ideas about how they compare with others. Some websites even go so far as to celebrate anorexia and bulimia (referred to by “fans” as “Ana” and Mia.” The popularity of fitness, exercise, and sports has also contributed to eating disorders. Today, more people are changing their diets in search of a lean, muscular look. People engaged in sports that require low body fat or extreme weight loss (such as wrestling, gymnastics, pole vaulting, high jumping, and even cycling) are particularly likely to develop eating disorders anorexic teens are usually described as “perfect” daughters, that is, helpful, considerate, conforming, and obedient. Many seem to seeking perfect control in their lives by being perfectly slim. People suffering from bulimia are also concerned with control. Typically they are obsessed with thoughts of weight, food, eating, and ridding themselves of food. As a result, they feel guilt, shame, self-contempt, and anxiety. Vomiting reduces their anxiety, which makes purging highly reinforcing.

DIF: Moderate REF: Module 9.2 KEY: www MSC: TYPE: Concept

Explain how the drive to avoid pain and the sex drive differ from hunger and thirst.

ANS:

Answer will include that hunger, thirst, and sleepiness come and go in fairly regular cycles each day and are also homeostatic. In contrast, pain avoidance and sex are episodic drives, that is, they occur in distinct episodes. Regarding pain, this drive occurs in distinct episodes when bodily damage tales place or is about to occur. Most drives prompt us to actively seek a desired goal (food, drink, and warmth). Pain prompts us to avoid or eliminate sources of discomfort. Since the avoidance of pain is innate and is necessary for individual survival, pan is considered a primary motive. Although the sex drive is innate and biologically-based, it is not necessary for individual survival, but is necessary for the survival of the species. The sex drive is also largely non-homeostatic (relatively independent of bodily need states.) In humans, the sex drive can be aroused at virtually any time by almost anything. It therefore shows no clear relationship to deprivation (the amount of time since the drive was last satisfied.) Certainly, an increase in desire may occur as times passes. But recent sexual activity does not prevent sexual desire from occurring again. Also, people may seek to arouse the sex drive as well as to reduce it.

ESSAY

A friend of yours is experiencing test anxiety, and she just needs to “calm down.” Explain why “just calming down” will not solve her problem and then give her some good suggestions for coping with test anxiety.

ANS:

Answer will include that that just calming down will not completely alleviate test anxiety, since it is a combination of heightened physiological arousal and excessive worry. Studies show that students are typically most anxious when they don’t know the material. Calming down simply means you will remain calm while failing. Some suggestions for coping with test anxiety include the following. (1) Preparation. Hard work is the most direct antidote for test anxiety. Many test-anxious students simply study too little, too late. That’s why improving your study skills is a good way to reduce test anxiety. The best solution is to overprepare by studying long before the “big day.” Well-prepared students score higher, worry less, and are less likely to panic. (2) Relaxation and emotional support. Learning to relax is another way to lower test anxiety. Emotional support also helps. If you are test anxious, discuss the problem with your professors or study for tests with a supportive classmate. (3) Rehearsal. To reduce nervousness, rehearse how you will cope with upsetting events. Before taking a test, imagine yourself going blank, running out of time, or feeling panicked. Then calmly plan how you will handle each situation, such as by keeping your attention on the task, by focusing on one question at a time, and so forth. (4) Restructuring thoughts. Another helpful strategy involves listing the upsetting thoughts you have during exams; then you can learn to combat these worries with calming, rational replies. These are called coping statements. Students who cope well with exams usually try to do the best they can, even under trying circumstances. Becoming a more confident test taker can actually increase yours scores, because it helps you remain calm.

Explain the difference between individuals with a high need for achievement and those with a high need for power.

ANS:

Answer will include that individuals with a high need for achievement (nAch) have a desire to meet an internal standard of excellence and strive to do well any time they are evaluated. Although needs for achievement may lead to wealth and prestige, people with a high nAch excel without seeking these riches. They enjoy the challenges and relish a chance to test their abilities. People high in nAch complete difficult tasks, they earn better grades, and they tend to excel in their occupations. College students high in nAch attribute success to their own ability, and failure to insufficient effort. Thus, high nAch students are more likely to renew their efforts when they perform poorly. The need for power is the desire to have impact or control over others. People with strong needs for power want their importance to be visible. They buy expensive possessions, wear prestigious clothes, and exploit relationships. The pursuit of power and financial success is the dark side of the American dream. People whose main goal in life is to make lots of money tend to be poorly adjusted and unhappy.

DIF: Moderate REF: Module 9.3 KEY: www MSC: TYPE: Concept

According to Kasser and Ryan, college students who are primarily concerned with money, personal appearance, and social recognition score lower than average in vitality, self-actualization, and general well-being. Discuss these findings using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and his description of the meta-needs; and then explain the difference inn intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and how these two types of motivation can be involved in turning “play” into “work.”

ANS:

Answer will include that these students’ energies are focused on and are being motivated by the lower deficiency needs of safety, love and belonging, and esteem. Until these needs are met to an optimal level, they cannot aspire toward self-actualization and the meta-needs, such as fairness, wholeness, truth, and meaningfulness. With the meta-needs being unfilled, the students will fall into a “syndrome of decay” marked by despair, apathy, alienation, and a lack of general well-being. Regarding motivation, when you do something for enjoyment or to improve your abilities, your motivation is usually intrinsic. Intrinsic motivation occurs when we act without any obvious external rewards. We simply enjoy an activity or see it as an opportunity to explore, learn, and actualize our potentials. In contrast, extrinsic motivation stems from external factors, such as pay, grades, rewards, obligations, and approval. Most of the activities we think of as “work” are extrinsically rewarded. Apparently, “play” can be turned into “work” by requiring people to do something they would otherwise enjoy, that is, changing the reward from intrinsic to extrinsic. Thus, basing one’s major or selection of a job only on money or choosing activities based on gaining social recognition leads to one “working” for extrinsic motivation, while making choices based on activities one enjoys can lead to a more lasting motivation and higher vitality.

ESSAY

Discuss the three elements of emotions, explain how a person can experience two opposite emotions simultaneously, and describe the role of the amygdala in emotion.

ANS:

Answer will include that the three elements of emotions are physiological changes, emotional expressions, and emotional feelings. Typical physiological changes that occur with an emotion include changes in heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration, and other bodily stirrings. Most are caused by the sympathetic nervous system and by the hormone adrenaline. Emotional expressions, or outward signs of what a person is feeling, are another ingredient of emotion. For example, when you are intensely afraid, your hands tremble, your face contorts, your posture becomes tense and defensive, and your voice changes. In general, these expressions serve to tell others what emotions we are experiencing. Emotional feelings involve a person’s private emotional experience and are the part of emotion with which we are usually most familiar. In the brain, positive emotions are processed mainly in the left hemisphere, while negative emotions are processed in the right hemisphere. The fact that positive and negative emotions are based in different brain areas helps explain why we can feel happy and sad at the same time. LeDoux and other researchers have found that an area of the brain called the amygdala specializes in producing fear. The amygdala receives sensory information very directly and quickly, bypassing the cortex. As a result, it allows us to respond to potential danger before we really know what’s happening. This primitive fear response is not under the control of higher brain centers. The role of the amygdala in emotion may explain why people who suffer from phobias and disabling anxiety often feel afraid without knowing why. People who suffer damage to the amygdala become “blind” to emotion. An armed robber could hold a gun to a person’s head and the person wouldn’t feel fear. Such people are also unable to “read” or understand other people’s emotional expressions, especially as conveyed by their eyes. Many lose their ability to relate normally to friends, family, and coworkers.

Compare and contrast the traditional method of polygraphs and the newer method of fMRI scans to “detect lying.” Include in your answer, what each procedure measures and the limitations and accuracy of these methods.

ANS:

Answer will include that the most popular method for detecting falsehoods measures the bodily changes that accompany emotion. However, the accuracy of “lie detector” or polygraph tests is doubtful, and they can be a serious invasion of privacy. Although popularly known as a lie detector because the police use it for that purpose, in reality the polygraph is not a lie detector at all. A suspect is questioned while “hooked up” to a polygraph, which typically records changes in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and the galvanic skin response (GSR). The GSR is recorded from the hand by electrodes that measure skin conductance, or, more simply, sweating. Because the device records only general emotional arousal, it can’t tell the difference between lying and fear, anxiety and excitement. Psychologist David Lykken has documented many cases in which innocent people were convicted on the basis of polygraph evidence. To minimize this problem, skilled polygraph examiners might use the guilty knowledge test. A series of multiple-choice questions are asked; one answer is correct. For example, one question might be: “Was the gun that killed Hensley a a) Colt, b) Smith & Wesson, c) Walther PPK, or d) Luger? A guilty person who knew which gun she had used may show an elevated response to the correct answer. Since an innocent person couldn’t know which gun was involved, she could only respond similarly to all four alternatives. Although proponents of lie detection claim it is 95 percent accurate, errors may occur even when questioning is done properly. But in one study, accuracy was dramatically lowered when people thought about past emotional experiences as they answered irrelevant questions. Similarly, the polygraph may be thrown off by self-inflicted pain, by tranquilizing drugs, or by people who can lie without anxiety. Worst of all, the test is much more likely to label an innocent person guilty, rather than a guilty person innocent. In studies involving real crimes, an average of one innocent person in five was rated as guilty by the lie detector. For such reasons, the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that polygraph tests should not be used to screen employees. A new technique involves the use of brain scans like fMRI, which directly measure brain activity, thus bypassing the traditional approach of measuring indirect signs of emotional arousal. For example, researchers have found that different brain areas are involved in telling a lie. Psychiatrist Daniel Langleben theorizes that a liar must inhibit telling the truth in order to lie. Thus, extra brain areas must be activated to tell a lie, which can be seen in brain images when people are lying.

ESSAY

Compare and contrast the similarities and differences that exist in the expression of emotions among Eastern and Western cultures; and discuss how and why men and women in Western cultures differ in their expression of emotions.

ANS:

Answer will include that although basic expressions appear to be fairly universal, the facial expressions of fear, anger, disgust, sadness, surprise, and happiness (enjoyment) are recognized around the world. Expressions of contempt and interest may also be universal, but researchers are less certain of this. Some facial expressions are shaped by learning and may be found only in specific cultures. Among the Chinese, for example, sticking out the tongue is a gesture of surprise, not of disrespect or teasing. If a person comes from another culture, it is wise to remember that you may easily misunderstand his or her expressions. At such times, knowing the social context in which an expression occurs helps clarify its meaning. Anger is a very common emotion in Western cultures. Very likely this is because our culture emphasizes personal independence and a free expression of individual rights and needs. In North America, anger is widely viewed as a “natural” reaction to feeling that you have been treated unfairly. In contrast, many Asian cultures place a high value on group harmony. In Asia, expressing anger in public is less common and anger is regarded as less “natural.” The reason for this is that anger tends to separate people. Thus, being angry is at odds with a culture that values cooperation. Culture also influence positive emotions. In America, we tend to have positive feelings such as pride, happiness, and superiority, which emphasize our role as individuals. In Japan, positive feelings are more often linked with membership in groups (friendly feelings, closeness to others, and respect). Compared with women, men in Western cultures are more likely to have difficulty expressing their emotions than women. According to psychologist Ronald Levant, although male babies start out life more emotionally expressive than female babies, little boys soon learn to “toughen up,” beginning in early childhood. As a result, men have learned to curtail the expression of most of their emotions. While girls are encouraged to express sadness, fear shame, and guilt, boys are more likely to be allowed to express only anger and hostility. For many men, an inability to express feelings or to even be aware of them is a major barrier to having close, satisfying relationships with others. Blunted emotions may even contribute to tragedies like the mass murder at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. For many young males, anger is the only emotion they can freely feel and express.

DIF: Moderate REF: Module 9.5 KEY: * MSC: TYPE: Concept

Describe the contemporary model of emotion, explaining how each of the theories of emotions is included within this model.

ANS:

Answer includes that an emotional stimulus, for example a feared object, is appraised as a threat (emotional appraisal theory) or other cause for emotion. Your appraisal gives rise to ANS arousal and cognitive labeling (Schachter’s cognitive theory). The appraisal also releases innate emotional expressions (facial expressions for the facial feedback hypothesis). At the same time, your appraisal leads to adaptive behavior of running from the object (James-Lange theory). It also causes a change in consciousness that you recognize as the subjective experience of fear. Each element of emotion—ANS arousal, labeling, adaptive behavior, subjective experience, and your emotional expressions—may further alter your emotional appraisal of the situation, as well as your thoughts, judgment, and perceptions. Thus, according to the facial feedback hypothesis, your facial expression will further influence your emotion. Such changes affect which of the other reactions, which again alters your appraisal and interpretation of events. To summarize, James and Lange were right that feedback from arousal and behavior adds to our emotional experiences. Cannon and Bard were right about the timing of events. Schachter showed us that cognition is important. Most importantly, Richard Lazarus’ theory stresses the importance of emotional appraisal.

ESSAY

Discuss how emotionally intelligence people perceive, use, and manage their emotions.

ANS:

Answer will include that emotional intelligence is a combination of skills, such as empathy, self-control, and self-awareness. People who excel in life tend to be emotionally intelligent. They do not stifle their emotions or overindulge in them. Many elements contribute to emotional intelligence, including the following: (1) Perceiving emotions: Emotionally intelligent people are tuned in to their own feelings. They are able to recognize quickly if they are angry, or envious, or feeling guilty. This is valuable because many people have disruptive emotions without being able to pinpoint why they are uncomfortable. They are also empathetic. Empathetic people accurately perceive emotions in others and sense what others are feeling. They are good at “reading” facial expressions, tone of voice, and other signs of emotion. (2) Using emotion: People who are emotionally intelligent use their feelings to enhance thinking and decision making. For example, if you can remember how you reacted emotionally in the past, it can help you react better to new situations. You can also use emotions to promote personal growth and improve relationships with others (3) Understanding emotions: People who are emotionally intelligent know what causes various emotions, what they mean, and how they affect behavior. (4) Managing emotions: Emotional intelligence involves an ability to manage your own emotions and those of others. You know how to calm down when you are angry and you also know how to calm others. In general, being emotionally intelligent means accepting that emotions are an essential part of who we are and how we survive. Negative emotions can be valuable and constructive. For example, persistent distress may compel a person to seek help, mend a relationship, or find a new direction in life.
