Assignment task: In an experiment, young men who encountered a sexy girl in the middle of a scary bridge called her, later, for a date. Young men who encountered the same girl after they got off the bridge were less likely to call her for a date. How does the theory of emotion explain this?
Group of answer choices
1. They felt protective of the girl on the bridge - they had no similar feelings toward the girl once they got off the bridge.
2. Danger always heightens our sexual arousal.
3. Men who were on the scary bridge realized how unpredictable their lives could be - better make the most of their opportunities while they still had the chance.
4. When they were on the scary bridge their hearts beat faster - they interpreted this physiological arousal as sexual excitement - when they got off the bridge, their hearts stopped beating so fast.
