Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Some studies show that internals tend to be more cautious about their health and are more likely to wear seat belts, eat well, exercise regularly, and quit smoking (Cobb-Clark, Kassenboehmer, & Schurer, 2014; Phares, 1993; Seeman, Seeman, & Sayles, 1985; Segall & Wynd, 1990). Internally oriented people tend to be physically healthier than externally oriented people and to have lower blood pressure and fewer heart attacks.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Internally oriented people tend to be physically healthier than externally oriented people and to have lower blood pressure and fewer heart attacks. When they do develop cardiac problems, they cooperate better with the hospital staff and are released earlier than patients who are externally oriented.
