Question 1 of 5

True about eating:

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cold weather activatlateral hypothalamus . Cold temperaturstimulate the lateral hypothalamus (LH) to increase food intake for thermogenesis, per physiological studies. Choice B is false; an empty stomach activatthe LH, not the ventromedial hypothalamus (satiety center). Choice C is incorrect; high blood sugar suppresshunger via insulin and leptin signaling. Choice D is wrong; insulin increasappetite by lowering glucose, not decreasing intake. is false; exercise aids weight loss by burning calories. As truth is rooted in adaptive physiology cold triggers LH-driven eating to maintain body heat, as seen in animal models, making it the correct answer.

Question 2 of 5

The following are known as the big five personality traits except one:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Vulnerability , which is not a Big Five trait. The Big Five are Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion , Agreeableness , and Neuroticism (opposite of emotional stability, A). Vulnerability is a facet of Neuroticism, not a standalone trait. Choice A (emotional stability) reflects low Neuroticism; C (extraversion) sociability; D (openness) creativity; E (agreeableness) cooperation. Bs exclusion being a sub-trait, not a core dimension aligns with the Big Five model (Costa & McCrae), widely validated in personality research, making it the correct answer over the established traits A, C, D, E.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following statements regarding personality is correct?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Objective personality tests assess conscious personality aspects . Tests like MMPI measure self-reported, conscious traits (e.g., extraversion), unlike projective tests.

Choice D is wrong; Freud used psychoanalysis (unconscious drives), not self-actualization (Maslow). is partially true but vague personality stabilizin adulthood. As truth objective tests focus on accessible traits contrasts with theoretical errors in B-D and ambiguity, making it the correct answer.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following statements regarding the psychophysiology of food intake is correct?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Blood sugar level affects appetite and food intake . Low glucose triggers hunger via the lateral hypothalamus, while high levels signal satiety, per glucostatic theory. Choice A is false; cold increasintake. Choice B is wrong; insulin increashunger by lowering glucose. Choice D is incorrect; multiple systems (e.g., gut, brain) regulate intake. is false; the lateral hypothalamus drivhunger, not satiety. Cs truth glucosrole in appetite is foundational, unlike the reversed or narrow claims of A, B, D, E, making it the correct answer.

Question 5 of 5

Which of the following statements regarding weight control is correct?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Exercise is more important for weight loss in overweight individuals . Exercise burns caloriand boosts metabolism, critical for overweight people, per obesity guidelines. Choice B is false; behavior therapy (e.g., CBT) aids weight control. Choice C is incorrect; metabolic rate decreasin deprivation to conserve energy. Choice D is wrong; basal metabolism is ~60-70% of expenditure, not one-third. is false; psychology (e.g., motivation) is key. As truth exercisoutsized role in calorie deficit contrasts with the errors of B-E, making it the correct answer.
