How does the facial feedback hypothesis challenge traditional theories of emotion considering the role of cognitive appraisal?
How does the facial feedback hypothesis challenge traditional theories of emotion considering the role of cognitive appraisal?
- It implies that emotions can arise independently of cognitive appraisal, as facial expressions directly influence emotional feelings. (correct)
- It integrates cognitive appraisal into the emotional process by proposing that facial expressions modulate the intensity of cognitive appraisals.
- It suggests cognitive appraisal is the primary driver of emotional experience, with facial expressions serving only to amplify these appraisals.
- It posits that emotional experience is primarily driven by physiological arousal, which is then interpreted and labeled based on cognitive appraisal.
In the context of misattribution of arousal on a 'wobbly bridge,' which cognitive process best explains why individuals might misinterpret their fear-induced physiological arousal as attraction?
In the context of misattribution of arousal on a 'wobbly bridge,' which cognitive process best explains why individuals might misinterpret their fear-induced physiological arousal as attraction?
- Cognitive dissonance, as individuals seek to reduce the discomfort caused by conflicting feelings of fear and attraction.
- The representativeness heuristic, as individuals categorize their arousal based on the most salient features of the dating context. (correct)
- The availability heuristic, as individuals overestimate the likelihood of experiencing attraction in novel situations.
- Confirmation bias, as individuals seek to validate their pre-existing beliefs about attraction.
How might the principles of misattribution of arousal be strategically applied in therapeutic settings to address anxiety disorders?
How might the principles of misattribution of arousal be strategically applied in therapeutic settings to address anxiety disorders?
- By encouraging clients to avoid situations that trigger anxiety in order to minimize the risk of misattribution.
- By helping clients reframe the physical symptoms of anxiety as indicators of enthusiasm or excitement. (correct)
- By exposing clients to intense anxiety-provoking stimuli in a controlled environment to facilitate habituation.
- By teaching clients to accurately identify and label their anxiety symptoms in order to gain better control over them.

Study Notes
- Theories of Emotion
Misattribution of Arousal
- Misattribution of arousal is making a mistaken inference about the cause of arousal.
- It can enhance or change emotion.
- Participants approached on a wobbly or stable bridge showed a difference in interpretation of emotion, those on a wobbly bridge were more likely to call her.
- Someone might misinterpret their heart racing due to the bridge and think it's because of the women.
- It is less likely someone will call her if they met on the stable bridge.
- If you want your date to be more attracted to you, do something or drink something that increases your heart rate beforehand.
Facial Feedback Hypothesis
- The act of forming a facial expression elicits the corresponding emotion.
- Facial expressions influence how emotions are experienced.
- If you are smiling, you must be happy.
- When smiling makes you feel a little bit happier.
- When you don't realize you are frowning, it makes you a little sad.
- This is consistent with James Theory.
- Behaviour feedback: body influences how we feel.
- If you stand up straight you feel more confident.
- Reading a story while holding your middle finger up makes a character more hostile, reading it with your thumb up is less hostile.
