Which of the following emotions would be considered HIGH in arousal and POSITIVE in valence?

Cal is the president of a company. Cal has an employee, Peter, who Cal thinks might make a great national sales director one day if he only had a bit more education. Cal thus decides to pay for Peter to get an MBA degree. After Peter receives his MBA, Cal realizes that Peter’s problem wasn’t lack of education. Peter just doesn’t seem to have the ability to be a national sales director. Despite this, Cal decides to promote Peter to national sales director anyway because, as Cal puts it, “otherwise he would have paid for Peter to get an MBA for nothing.” What decision-making issue has Cal fallen victim to?

Catherine is a clinical psychologist interested in the relationship between video game playing and symptoms of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Catherine randomly recruits 400 9-year-old children. She asks each child’s parent/guardian to fill out two surveys. In the first survey, they are asked to indicate how many hours their child spends playing video games each week. In the second survey, they are asked to indicate whether or not their child exhibits 20 possible behaviors associated with ADHD. For each child, Catherine plots their number of hours of reported game play against the number of behaviors associated with ADHD that they show. When she does this, she ends up with the following graph: Based upon her methods and results, what can Catherine conclude from her study?

Jerrod and Greg take part in a psychology experiment. They are told they could either receive $100 right now, or some other amount of money 1-month from now. They are asked how much money they would need to receive in 1-month in order to choose that option rather than to take the $100 right now. Both Jerrod and Greg say they would need to receive quite a bit more money 1-month from now in order to choose that option. Jerrod ate a big lunch about 45 minutes before the experiment. Greg had to skip breakfast and also hadn’t had time to eat lunch before the experiment. Knowing just those facts, and all other things being equal, you would guess that:

The nurse is taking care of a diabetic patient. When the nurse enters their room to administer their lispro insulin the patient appears anxious and states that they are shaky and dizzy. What should the nurse do first?

James knows that infants naturally pucker their lips when they are exposed to sour tastes. He buys his infant son a bright red pacifier. When he gives the pacifier to his son the first time, his son takes the pacifier and sucks on it without making any particular facial expression. Every subsequent time, right before he gives his son the pacifier, James dips the pacifier in lemon juice (which is very sour). James finds that after about 10 times doing this, his son starts to pucker his lips as soon as he touches the bright red pacifier (before he even puts it in his mouth). In this example of classical conditioning, the unconditioned response is:
