Question

Explain arousal theory

Answer 1

the theory that the physical environment can affect arousal levels by stimulation and by stress created when psychological or physical needs are not met. Arousal increases when personal space is diminished (see crowding) or when people are subjected to noise, traffic congestion, or other adverse conditions.

The arousal theory of motivation suggests that people are driven to perform actions in order to maintain an optimum level of physiological arousal.
