Which of these is not a common behaviour displayed by individuals when they are in contact with a fear stimulus?
Correct answer: A. Decreased heart rate
- A. Decreased heart rate
- B. Palpitations
- C. Sweating
- D. Shortness of birth
Explanation
Fear usually activates the sympathetic nervous system, producing palpitations, sweating, and rapid breathing rather than a decreased heart rate. “Shortness of birth” is presumably a typo for shortness of breath.
