1 Dimensional accounts of emotion are opposed to discrete or basic emotion theories. The
most commonly accepted dimensional view is that:
(A) There are four dimensions that account for emotional experience and these are positivity,
negativity, low power, and high power
(B) Emotional experience can be described by a circumplex, but this model is not made up of
dimensions
(C) The dimensions that characterize emotional experience can be mathematically described in a
multidimensional space with infinite dimensions
(D) There are two dimensions that account for emotional experience and these are pleasantness-
unpleasantness and activated-deactivated
Answer: (D) There are two dimensions that account for emotional experience and these are
pleasantness-unpleasantness and activated-deactivated
Feedback: While the two dimensions have been given various names over the last century, valence and
arousal/activation continue to be considered the two most essential dimensions of emotions.

to Plutchik's theory of actions?
(A) Threat: fear
(B) Obstacle or goal thwarting: anger
(C) Sudden novel object: sadness
(D) All of the above are correctly paired
Answer: (C) Sudden novel object: sadness
Feedback: Plutchik suggested that sudden novel objects elicit surprise, while the loss of a valued
person elicits sadness
3 Which of the following theories of emotion is best known for predicting patterns of
autonomic arousal for each basic emotion?
(A) Evolutionary theories
(B) Componential appraisal theories
(C) Psychological constructionism
(D) All theories of emotion argue for specificity of autonomic arousal during emotion states
Answer: (A) Evolutionary theories
Feedback: Psychological constructionism has most strongly argued against the evolutionary
perspective's notion of autonomic specificity, while componential versions of appraisal
theories do not endorse the idea of ""basic"" emotions
4 Which theorist is best known for the peripheralist notion that specific autonomic activity
creates the feeling state for each emotion?
(A) Charles Darwin
(B) William James
(C) Robert Plutchik
(D) Phoebe Ellsworth

5 Which of the following statements about appraisal theories is true?
(A) They claim that emotions are determined by how an individual appraises his or her
circumstances
(B) The theories state that very few objects or events inevitably cause the same emotion in all
people
(C) The only commonly accepted appraisal dimensions are ""good"" and ""bad""
(D) Both A and B
(E) All of the above
Answer: (D) Both A and B
Feedback: C is not correct because appraisal theorists include valence, novelty, control, and certainty,
among others, as appraisal dimensions
6 According to appraisal theories, what causes specific emotions, such as anger?
(A) Having the cultural knowledge of the concept of anger and appraising the situation as fitting that
concept
(B) A distinct pattern of appraisals on dimensions like valence, control, and certainty
(C) A signal stimulus triggers an innate appraisal of its biological significance
(D) There are no specific emotions in appraisal theories, just core affect
Answer: (B) A distinct pattern of appraisals on dimensions like valence, control, and certainty
Feedback: Choice A best describes psychological constructionism, C sounds like evolutionary theories
but is distorted, and D is closest to psychological constructionism
7 In appraisal theories, what terms describe appraisals that are quick, automatic, and
probably shared with other species, and appraisals that rely on higher-order mental
processes and are probably learned?
(A) Primary and secondary appraisals
(B) Biological and sociological appraisals
(C) Essential and nonessential appraisals
(D) Hot and cold appraisals
Answer: (A) Primary and secondary appraisals
Feedback: The commonly recognized primary appraisal dimensions are novelty and valence, and the
secondary appraisal dimensions are thought to require more cognitive elaboration than the
primary
8 Certain modern variations of appraisal theories discount the idea of all-or-none ""basic
emotions,"" and instead use appraisal dimensions to predict specific affective behaviors like
rejection, freezing, and approaching, and changes in other components of emotion. What is
one name for these newer theories, such as that of Scherer?
