A

schachter and singer

states that we experience an emotion according to how we cognitively label a physiological/biological response.

Q

what is sympathetic nervous system responsible for

also known as

some actions it can trigger

provides body with brief, intense, vigorous responses. Often reffered to as fight or flight system as it prepares an individual for action. increases heart rate, blood pressure in preparation for action

Q

what is parasympathetic nervous system responsible for

A

provides signals to the internal organs during a calm resting state when no crisis is present. When activated, it leads to changes that allow for recovery and the conservation of energy, including an increase in digestion and the reapair of body tissues

14
Q

what happens in alarm reaction

A

heart rate increases, blood is diverted away from other body functions to muscels needed to react. the organism readies itself to meet the challenge. through activation of sympathetic nervous system.

Q

what happens in resistance stage

A

the body remains physiologically ready (high heart rate etc) hormones are released to maintain this stage or readiness. If this stage lasts too long resources from body can be depleted

Q

what happens during exhaustion stage

A

parasympathetic nervous system returns our body back to the normal physiologcal state. More prone to disease in this state

17
Q

what is perceived control and what does it do

A

perceived control is ones belief in that they have control over the situation they are in. Reduces stress

18
Q

what is perceived lack of control and what does it do

A

perceived lack of control is ones disbelief in that they have control of the present situation. increases stress

19
Q

how is stress measured

A

stress is measured by the social readjustment rating scale (SRRS) this measures stress using life-change units (LCUs). The higher the score the more stressed the person is likely to be. any major life change increases the score on the SRRS. an event considered more positive has same number or as many LCUs.

20
Q

what is the drive reduction theory\

who gave it

A

theory that our behaviour is motivated by biological needs

darwin

21
Q

what is the primary drive

A

biological needs that we need to survive

22
Q

what is the secondary drive

A

biological needs that we have learned (education, job)

23
Q

what is the incentive theory

A

incentive theory states that behaviours are not necessarily pushed by need but can be pushed by desire as well

24
Q

what does lateral hypothalamus control

A

controls need to eat and stomach growling

25
Q

what does ventromedial hypothalamus control

A

controls the body’s need to stop eating and signals the body that you are full

26
Q

what is the set point theory/lipostatic theory

A

describes how the hypothalamus might decide what impulse to send. theory states that the body might want to maintain a certain optimum body weight. for example if you were underweight the metabolism might slow down

27
Q

what is the garcia effect

A

garcia effect states that pervious effects of eating a food can change how you veiw it. for example if I ate a hot dog and threw up I would not want to eat it again

28
Q

what is bulimia

A

30
Q

what is approach-approach conflict

31
Q

what is approach-avoidance conflict

A

A single goal has desirable and undesirable outcomes

32
Q

What is the arousal theory
What is arousal

Diagram and “law” that supports it

A

States that there has to be a certain level of arousal to perform a task well

Arousal is a physiological state and excitement

Yorkes-Dodson law

33
Q

What is the Yorkes Dodson law

Exception for old and easy tasks

A

Need a medium amount of arousal to perform well

Even high level of arousal would allow you to perform an old and easy task well

34
Q

What is the opponent-process theory

How does it work

What is opponent

What is withdrawal
how long does it last usually

A

Explains addictive behavior.

Humans are at a baseline state (normal state). Doing certain activities takes you away from that baseline state.
eg: getting drunk/high

Opponent refers to the desire to return back to the baseline state

Withdrawal occurs when baseline shifts and you try to return baseline to normal
Lasts 2-3 weeks normally

EG:
smoke 2 cigs a day and that gives you a high - moves you away from baselines. Eventually ur baseline will shift to the high of the 2 cigs a day. Now you have to smoke 4 cigs a day for the same high. Withdrawal would be trying to move ur baseline back to normal and not smoking at all.

35
Q

What is the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

A 
Self actualization
Esteem needs
Social needs
Security needs
Physiological needs (biological)

All humans are motivated to fulfil the needs bottom up

36
Q

What is the glucostatic hypothesis

A

When the hypothalamus increases insulin levels to decrease glucose levels.

Decrease in glucose levels makes you want to eat to increase.

37
Q

Sexual response cycle
4 stages
By who

What is the refractory peiod

A

William masters and Virginia Johnson

Initial excitement - Genital areas become engorged with blood
Plateau phase - Respiration and heart rate continue at an elevated level, genitals secrete fluids in preparation for sex
Orgasm - Rhythmic genital contractions that may help conception, respiration,
and heart rate increase further and lead to a pleasurable euphoria
Resolution phase - Respiration and heart rate return to normal resting states, men experience a refractory period

Refractory period - a time period that must elapse before another orgasm.

38
Q

What is the management theory

by who

A

Kurt Lewin

Theory X - employees are externally motivated
Theory Y - employees are internally motivated and the policies should encourage the internal motivation.

39
Q
