Emotional Arousal and Inhibition
Captions available
The idea
Under emotional arousal, eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds resembled adolescents more than twenty-two- to twenty-five-year-olds on inhibition, in a study by Cohen and colleagues.
In practice
A twenty-year-old who controls impulses well in calm settings and poorly when upset.
Where people slip
The finding applies to emotionally charged situations, the "hot" decisions of unit nine, not to calm reasoning.
