  5. Sexual Motivation • Sexual response cycle: • Excitement • Plateau • Orgasm • Resolution • Biological, Psychological, and Social-Cultural influences all affect sexual motivation

  6. Sexual Orientation • Homosexuality is not linked with: • Parental relationship problems during childhood • Fear or hatred toward opposite gender • Levels of sex hormones in blood • Being molested as a child • Homosexuality is in animals • Homosexuality is possibly genetic

  7. Need to Belong • Aids survival • Our actions are dictated to increase social acceptance • Trying to maintain relationships • Positive impact on health

  8. Emotion a response of the whole organism, involving (1) physiological arousal, (2) expressive behaviors, and (3) conscious experience

  9. Theories of Emotion • James-Lange theory • Arousal triggers emotion • Cannon-Bard theory • Arousal and emotion happen simultaneously • Two-Factor theory • Arousal and cognitive labeling identifies the emotion

  10. Cognition and Emotion • Arousal fuels emotion; cognition channels it. • Low road- emotional shortcut to the amygdala • High road- normal emotion path to the amygdala

How to deal? Simmer down Deal with it in a way that doesn’t cause you to have an out burst or sulk about it. • Fear is: • Poisonous • Adaptive • Learned • Amygdala controls fear • Fear or fearlessness can be genetic

  14. Happiness • People are more likely to be helpful when they are in a good mood (feel-good, do-good phenomenon) • Extremely wealthy people are not happier than people of average wealth

  15. Stress The process by which we perceive and respond to certain events, called stressors, that we appraise as threatening or challenging

  16. Responding to Stress • Fight or flight • Adrenal glands secrete glucocorticoid, works slowly, cortisol, works quickly • General Adaptation Syndrome- body’s adaptive response to stress: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
