Explanation / Answer
QUESTION 59: neuroticism (Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than others to experience feelings like anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration, envy, jealousy, guilt, depressed mood, and loneliness)
QUESTION 60: interrelated system of concepts used to explain personality.. (a theory of personality should account for three areas of human functioning. 1. The formation and development of personality 2. Personality functioning in the adult 3. Personality change and consistency during life cycle)
QUESTION 61: claiming to be ill. (Self-handicapping is a cognitive strategy by which people avoid effort in the hopes of keeping potential failure from hurting self-esteem.)
QUESTION 62: Attitude ( Attitudes are evaluations people make about objects, ideas, events, or other people. Attitudes can be positive or negative.)
QUESTION 63: do all of these. (Emotional intelligence, alternatively known as EI or EQ, reflects an individual’s ability to deal with daily environmental challenges and helps predict success in life, both in professional and personal pursuits. EI refers to the competence to identify and express emotions, understand emotions, assimilate emotions in thought, and regulate both positive and negative emotions in the self and in others. EI competencies include empathy, intuition, creativity, flexibility, resilience, stress management, leadership, integrity, happiness and optimism, as well as intrapersonal and interpersonal communication skills.Those people who are self-aware and sensitive to others manage their affairs with wisdom and grace, even in adverse circumstances.)
QUESTION 64: activates an instinctual need for catharsis.
(In frustration-aggression theory, the treatment of catharsis principally parallels that of the instigation to aggression: instigation is conceived of as cumulative, with various independent frustrations heightening its level successively; catharsis is considered as cumulative in the sense that independent cathartic incidents successively lower the level of instigation. The notion of catharsis is equated with the reduction of the instigation to aggression in general, irrespective of specific targets in the F-A theory. A violent assault upon a frustrator is seen as cathartic. More significantly, however, the expression of minor, less direct, and possibly covert acts of ‘aggression’ are viewed as alternative, powerful means to bring about catharsis. The mere expression of annoyance, which does not harm anybody, is also considered an aggressive act capable of producing catharsis.)
QUESTION 65 :All of these statements are true. (refer answer for Q63)
QUESTION 66 : when aggression is directed at a target other than the source of frustration. (self explanatory)
