Jenna is a talented singer. Her singing is commendable when she is well rehearsed and is performing with her school choir group. In such situations, she is moderately aroused and fairly relaxed. However, when Jenna's friends are around, she gets overly aroused and anxious. In such situations, she finds it hard to focus and often makes mistakes. Which of the following psychological principles can be used to explain the rationale behind Jenna's performance?

a. Cannon-Bard theoryb. Yerkes-Dodson lawc. James-Lange theoryd. Self-regulation

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yerkes-Dodson law

Explanation:

Yerkes–Dodson law explains the empirical relationship between arousal and performance. This law was developed by two psychologists named Robert M. Yerkes and John Dillingham Dodson in 1908.

It is often illustrated graphically as a bell-shaped curve which increases and then decreases with higher levels of arousal.

This psychological principle explains Jenna’s performance.
