A female student was extremely upset over her test results. She thought she had studied thoroughly, but her test grade would be totally unacceptable to her parents. Her friend said, "Come on, it's just the first course test
You'll do better on the next one. Let's go out and have a drink. You'll feel much better." After the first drink, how will the upset student most likely feel?
a.
A bit nauseous
b.
More relaxed and comfortable
c.

ANS: B
If one expects a certain effect, such as relief, one is more likely to feel it after use of a drug. The satisfied expectancies may set up neural pathways that are interpreted as pleasurable. It is unlikely that the student will feel nauseous or very thirsty after the first drink. The student may feel ready to have a second, but that would be related to the relaxation and comfort experienced with the first drink.
