How has the color red been explicitly linked to sexuality across time and culture, and how does that affect approach and avoidance motivation?
What will be an ideal response?
The color red has been explicitly linked to sexuality through red-light districts, red hearts for Valentine's Day, red body paint as a symbol of a woman's fertility, and red as a symbol of adultery. In many cases (those involving love and sexuality), red can prompt an approach motivation. In others (such as stop signs or blood), avoidance motives may take precedence.
