Question

German students had their brains scanned while someone thwarted their opportunity to earn money. Blood flow to brain areas that helped students understand their own emotions and make socially appropriate decisions was enhanced among students who: a) perceived the wrongdoer's act as unjustified. b) verbally expressed their feelings of anger. c) experienced forgiveness for the wrongdoer. d) ruminated inwardly about the reasons for their anger.

Answer 1

. b) verbally expressed their feelings of anger

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there was increased activity in the part of their brain when they were denied the opportunity to make money and that part of the brain is responsible for understanding personal emotions and making socially appropriate decisions, and making socially appropriate decisions, it is most likely that they verbally expressed their anger.

First, by understanding that they were angry and verbally expressing such emotion, it shows that that part of the brain responsible for understanding emotions and making acceptable social decisions was active.

They could have understood their emotions but not made a socially appropriate decision. They might have started physically to attack the person who denied them the chance of making money, but instead, they understood their emotions and did the most socially appropriate thing by verbally expressing their anger.
