Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Rationale: Carrie was underweight as a baby, and in grade school she began to overeat and gain weight.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The James-Lange theory argues that environmental events trigger patterns of visceral responding, and that our brains subsequently decode the pattern to arrive at an emotional experience. A key piece of support for the theory comes from Hohman (1966), who assessed the impact of spinal cord injury on emotional experience. The higher the level of the transection, the greater the interruption of sensory information to the brain, and the greater the decrement in the intensity of experienced emotion.
