Question

which of the following psychological concepts is demonstrated by the graph?
1 point
drive-reduction theory
arousal theory
sensation-seeking theory
intrinsic motivation

Explanation:

The graph shows that performance increases with arousal up to an optimal point, then decreases when arousal becomes too high. This matches the core of arousal theory, which posits that there's a curvilinear relationship between arousal level and performance. Drive-reduction theory focuses on reducing physiological drives, sensation-seeking theory centers on seeking novel stimuli, and intrinsic motivation refers to internal rewards for behavior, none of which match the graph's relationship.

Answer:

B. arousal theory
