  4. Homeostasis • tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state • regulation of any aspect of body chemistry around a particular level • Incentive • a positive or negative environmental stimulus that motivates behavior Motivation

  7. 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 • Basal Metabolic Rate • body’s base rate of energy expenditure Motivation:Hunger

  8. The hypothalamus controls eating and other body maintenance functions Motivation:Hunger

  19. Emotion • a response of the whole organism • physiological arousal • expressive behaviors • consciousexperience Emotion

  20. Sight of oncoming car (perception of stimulus) Pounding heart (arousal) Fear (emotion) • Experience of emotion is awareness of physiological responses to emotion-arousing stimuli James-Lange Theory of Emotion

  21. Pounding heart (arousal) Sight of oncoming car (perception of stimulus) Fear (emotion) • Emotion-arousing stimuli simultaneously trigger: • physiological responses • subjective experience of emotion Cannon-BardTheory of Emotion

  22. Pounding heart (arousal) Sight of oncoming car (perception of stimulus) Fear (emotion) Cognitive label “I’m afraid” • To experience emotion one must: • be physically aroused • cognitively label the arousal Schachter’s Two-Factor Theory of Emotion

  23. The brain’s shortcut for emotions Cognition and Emotion

  25. Polygraph • machine commonly used in attempts to detect lies • measures several of the physiological responses accompanying emotion • perspiration • cardiovascular • breathing changes Emotion:Lie Detectors

  26. Is 70% accuracy good? • Assume 5% of 1000 employees actually guilty • test all employees • 285 will be wrongly accused • What about 95% accuracy? • Assume 1 in 1000 employees actually guilty • test all employees (including 999 innocents) • 50 wrongly declared guilty • 1 of 51 testing positive are guilty (~2%) Emotion--Lie Detectors

  35. The body’s resistance to stress can last only so long before exhaustion sets in Stress resistance Stressor occurs Phase 1 Alarm reaction (mobilize resources) Phase 2 Resistance (cope with stressor) Phase 3 Exhaustion (reserves depleted) • General Adaptation Syndrome • Selye’s concept of the body’s adaptive response to stress in three stages Stress and Illness

  36. Behavioral Medicine • interdisciplinary field that integrates behavioral and medical knowledge and applies that knowledge to health and disease • Health Psychology • subfield of psychology that provides psychology’s contribution to behavioral medicine Stress and Health

  42. Biofeedback • system for electronically recording, amplifying, and feeding back information regarding a subtle physiological state • blood pressure • muscle tension Promoting Health

  43. Life events Personal appraisal Challenge Threat Personality type Easy going Nondepressed Optimistic Hostile Depressed Pessimistic Personal habits Nonsmoking Regular exercise Good nutrition Smoking Sedentary Poor nutrition Level of social support Close, enduring Lacking Tendency toward Health Illness
