Question
The opponent-process theory ____.
Answer
The opponent-process theory views emotions as pairs of opposites. For example, fear/relief or pleasure/pain.
When one emotion is experienced, the other is suppressed
Explains motivation for drug use: as drug use increases, the body counteracts its effects, leading to tolerance and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms.
ONE EMOTION STRENGTHENS WHILE THE OPPOSITE EMOTION WEAKENS OVERTIME. So with drugs, pleasure gets weaker and withdraw (unpleasentry) gets stronger – eventually the person is just taking it to feel normal.
