Question

If people wrinkle their nose in disgust when presented with a strange-looking food, they are likely to experience an increasingly intense emotional aversion to the food. This best illustrates the:_______
a. cannon-Bard theory.
b. relative deprivation principle.
c. feel-good, do-good phenomenon.
d. catharsis hypothesis.
e. "facial feedback" effect.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is e. "facial feedback" effect.

Explanation:

The facial feedback hypothesis explains that a person's facial expression influences their emotional response. In turn, this also means that a lack of any expression results in the supression of emotions.

However, research has found that emotions are independent of facial expressions, as demontrated by studies examining people with facial paralysis who presented emotions as normal.
