Detailed explanation-1: -This concept is commonly referred to as the Yerkes-Dodson Law. The law states that increased levels of arousal will improve performance, but only up until the optimum arousal level is reached.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Arousal Theory of Motivation was first proposed by Henry Murray in 1938. Murray’s theory was based on his observations of humans’ needs for achievement, power, and affiliation. He believed that these needs were motivated by a desire to reduce one’s levels of arousal.
Detailed explanation-3: -Arousal theory suggests that delinquents and criminals have suboptimal arousal levels. Thus, they are neurologically inclined to seek stimulation in a variety of ways and to tolerate more pain in satisfying their need for stimulation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Optimal arousal is a psychological construct referring to a level of mental stimulation at which physical performance, learning, or temporary feelings of wellbeing are maximized (Smith 1990). It can also be described as the degree of energy release and the intensity of readiness.
