AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The most obvious signs of emotional arousal involve changes in the activity of the visceral motor (autonomic) system (see Chapter 21). Thus, increases or decreases in heart rate, cutaneous blood flow (blushing or turning pale), piloerection, sweating, and gastrointestinal motility can all accompany various emotions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Indications of emotional development include the ability to self-regulate, demonstrating prosocial behaviors, exhibiting composure and possessing emotional intelligence. People who self-regulate their emotions will not have verbal outbursts or become volatile.

Detailed explanation-3: -Physiological theories suggest that responses within the body are responsible for emotions. Neurological theories propose that activity within the brain leads to emotional responses. Cognitive theories argue that thoughts and other mental activity play an essential role in forming emotions.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the English language, some expressions of physiological feelings are unambiguous (hunger, thirst, pain, temperature).
