Question

If people who have just been aroused by watching rock videos are then insulted, their feelings of anger will be greater than those of people who have been similarly provoked but were not previously aroused. This best illustrates:

A. the spillover effect.
B. the Cannon-Bard theory.
C. the James-Lange theory.
D. parasympathetic arousal.

Answer 1

A. the spillover effect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spillover effect: The term spillover effect refers to the propensity of an individual's emotion to influence the way other individuals feel around him or her.

In other words, spillover theory defines the legal principle of splitting off the similar evidence that is related to both an accused and a codefendant.

In the question above, the spillover effect is being seen as the people aroused just by seeing the rock videos are compared to that of the people being provoked but didn't get aroused.
