Question 9 • 670417 Psychology S1 - MOSELEY, MELISSA K

Which of the following statements concerning the relationship between hormones and emotion is correct?

Answer
A
All emotion is determined by the level of cortisol released within the body.
B
Both excitement and fear are influenced by the level of melatonin in the body.
C
Stress response hormones help prepare the body to cope with frightening situations.
D
Research indicates that hormones have no influence on the development of mood disorders.

Explanation

Stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol, activate bodily changes that help a person respond to danger, including a frightening situation. The other statements are too broad or inaccurate: emotion is not determined by cortisol alone, melatonin mainly regulates sleep and circadian rhythms, and hormones can influence mood disorders.
