Question

Mike lives in the northern United States (in Minnesota) and Nick lives in the southern United States (Louisiana). When they both feel insulted by the same individual, Nick will be more likely to have a(n) ________ cortisol response and show ________ levels of physical aggression.

Answer 1

Answer:

Nick will be more likely to have a hyper cortisol response and show higher levels of physical aggression.

Explanation:

Cortisol is often referred to as a "stress hormone". New studies have shown that in summer higher level of cortisol hormones circulate in blood. Hence Nick or any other person living in hot climate is more likely to be affected by higher cortisol hormones in case of stress or conflict. The higher the cortisol level in the blood the higher will be the physical aggression.
