Indentify Unit 8 Scenarios Review Activity 
Identify Unit 8 Scenarios
Directions: Read the scenarios below, work to identify first if each scenario is one of motivation, emotion or stress. Then determine which theory of motivation or emotion, or which stage of GAS the scenario depicts.
___________________ 1. When touched on the cheek, newborn baby Nolan turns his head and opens his mouth to receive the potential food.
___________________ 2. Every afternoon, in her first grade classroom, Mrs. Jones gives students a snack so that they aren’t hungry and can focus better on their learning.
___________________ 3. When one of Mrs. Jones’ students brings her a thank-you gift, she feels her heartbeat pick up and thinks how wonderful she feels as she experiences the joy of receiving the gift. ___________________ 4. At the end of her junior year, Susie is registering for classes for her last year of high school. She decides to register for an entire schedule of less-than-challenging elective classes, thinking to herself that everyone can get an A in those classes, so I’ll blend right in.
___________________ 5. John gets his exam score back in AP Psychology, sees the A+ he earned, and as his heartbeat picks up and his breathing speeds he feels an overwhelming relief and excitement at his hard work paying off.
___________________ 6. After running a marathon and burning an immense amount of calories,
Jorge goes to Buffalo Wild Wings and eats fifty chicken wings and an order of potato wedges, downing 5 glasses of water.
___________________ 7. Philip is a rather uptight person (what personality type is he probably?
________________), who is now suffering congestive heart failure due to years of compounding life problems, including financial trouble, marital struggles, and a high-stakes career with the federal government. ___________________ 8. Josie decides to pursue a career in law because she understands it, she’s good at it, but it still presents a challenge, rather than pursuing a medical degree due to her struggles
