Response writing 4 & 5: physiological - emotional. Quest 2, p. 234, ex. A.

In her thinking ahead exercise to the general interest reading of chapter 8, Hartmann asks us to discuss some topics that are relevant to the reading "The New Science of Mind and Body" (2007, p. 234, ex. A). We are instead going to do this as a series of response writing exercises.

Response write on the following prompt:
  • 4. The list below is of some mental and physical conditions that are mentioned in the next reading. Which ones do you think might be physiological (concerned with the physical body)? Which ones might be emotional states? 
    • alienation (feeling of not belonging to a group)
    • anxiety (worry)
    • hostility (unfriendliness and anger)
    • hypertension (high blood pressure) 
    • obesity (being overweight) 
    • optimism (belief that good things will happen) 
    • serenity (feeling of peacefulness)
       
  • & 5. Which physiological conditions from the above list might affect a person emotionally? Which emotional states might affect a person physically?
