Question

You ran out of money while you and your friends were shopping at the mall, but your other two friends
still had plenty of money left. One of them even had her dad’s credit card. When it was time to pay for
the identical jeans each of you decided to purchase, you took the credit card from your friend’s purse
without her knowledge to make your purchase. Which emotion would you most likely feel?
(1 point)
the learned emotion fear
the learned emotion guilt
the primary emotion hate
the primary emotion shame

Answer 1

the learned emotion guilt — taking the card without permission is a moral transgression, so you'd most likely feel guilt, a learned/self‑conscious emotion tied to social rules.
