Definition Slides
143
Motivation = a need or desire that energizes and directs behavior.
144
Instinct = a complex, unlearned behavior that is rigidly patterned throughout a species.
145
Drive-Reduction Theory
= the idea that a physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need.
146
Homeostasis = a tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level.
147
Incentive = a positive or negative environment stimulus that motivates behavior.
148
Yerkes-Dodson Law = the principle that performance increases with arousal only up to a point, beyond which performance decreases.
149
Hierarchy of Needs = Maslow’s pyramid of human needs, beginning at the base with physiological needs that must first be satisfied before higher-level safety needs and then psychological needs become active.
150
Glucose = the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major source of energy for body tissues. When its level is low, we feel hunger.
151
Set Point = the point at which an individual’s “weight thermostat” is supposedly set. When the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.
152
Basal Metabolic Rate = the body’s resting rate of energy expenditure.
153
Sexual Response Cycle = the four stages of sexual responding described by Masters and Johnson – excitement, plateau, orgasm, and resolution.
154
Refractory Period = a resting period after orgasm, during which a man cannot achieve another orgasm.
155
Sexual Dysfunction = a problem that consistently impairs sexual arousal or functioning.
156
Estrogens = sex hormones, such as estradiol, secreted in greater amount by females than males and contributing to female sex characteristics. In nonhuman female mammals, estrogen levels peak during ovulation, promoting sexual receptivity.
157
Testosterone = the most important of the male sex hormones. Both males and females have it, but the additional testosterone in males stimulates the growth of the male sex organs in the fetus and the development of the male sex characteristics during puberty.
158
Emotion = a response of the whole organism, involving
(1) physiological arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience.
159
James-Lange Theory = the theory that our experience of emotion is our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli.
160
Cannon-Bard Theory = the theory that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers (1) physiological responses and (2) the subjective experience of emotion.
161
Two-Factor Theory = the Schachter-Singer theory that to experience emotion one must (1) by physically aroused and (2) cognitively label the arousal.
162
Polygraph = a machine, commonly used in attempts to detect lies, that measures several of the physiological responses (such as perspiration and cardiovascular and breathing changes) accompanying emotion.
163
Facial Feedback Effect
= the tendency of facial muscle states to trigger corresponding feelings such as fear, anger, and happiness.
164
Health Psychology = a subfield of psychology that provides psychology's contribution to behavioral medicine.
165
Stress = the process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging.
166
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
= Selye’s concept of the body’s adaptive response to stress in three phases – alarm, resistance, exhausion.
167
Tend-and-Befriend Response
= under stress, people (especially women) often provide support to others (tend) and bond with and seek support from others (befriend).
168
Psychophysiological Illness
= literally, “mind-body” illness; any stress-related physical illness, such as hypertension and some headaches.
169
Psychoneuroimmunology
= the study of how psychological, neural, and endocrine processes together affect the immune system and resulting health.
170
Lymphocytes = the two types of white blood cells that are part of the body’s immune system; B lymphocytes form in the bone marrow and release antibodies that fight bacterial infections; T lymphocytes form in the thymus and other lymphatic tissue and attack cancer cells, viruses, and foreign substances.
171
Coronary Heart Disease
= the clogging of the vessels that nourish the heart muscle; the leading cause of death in many developed countries.
172
Type A = Friedman and Rosenman’s term for competitive, hard-driving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and anger-prone people.
173
Type B = Friedman and Rosenman’s term for easygoing, relaxed people.
