Label these Emotions using Myer’s perspective?s answer the following:

Is he angry with Justin?

Is he nervous about the exam?

On the other hand, is he just jittery from having too much caffeine in the last 24 hours?

After devouring breakfast in the school cafeteria, Alex heads toward the science building to take a final exam. He was up studying all night and had only two hours of fitful sleep, probably because he drank coffee and energy drinks all night to stay awake. At breakfast, Alex made sure to eat a well-balanced meal: plenty of eggs, mul?tigrain toast, and fruit topped with a dollop of yogurt. Thankfully, the cafeteria offers an unlimited supply of coffee, so Alex helped himself to two or three generous mugfuls of coffee, too, to make sure he doesn?t nod off during the final exam. Now, with his stomach happy and his mind full, Alex enters the classroom and sits at his desk. The professor begins to distribute the exams to the class and Alex picks up his pen in preparation. At that moment, Justin (half asleep) walks past Alex?s desk with his backpack swinging wildly from his arm. Justin?s pack whacks Alex along the side of his head, and Alex loses hold of his pen, which sails clear across the room. The professor glares at Alex (not Justin). After he retrieves his pen and composes himself at his desk (now with the exam in front of him), Alex finds that his hands are shaking, his stomach is in a knot, and he feels his tem?perature rising. He is distracted.

Vignette One

During your first phone contact, Pete, a 35 year old man of Latino-American descent, tells you his family needs to see a therapist very soon. His 14-year-old son, Tim, is in a special education class at school. Tim was recently arrested for shoplifting. Pete is concerned that the boy is a bad influence on the other children, who are Susie, age 7, Jimmy, age 5, and Jenny, age 3. You schedule an appointment for Pete, his wife and Tim, but only Pete and Tim show up. Pete explains that his wife, Monica, was too depressed and stressed out to come and that she wants Pete to handle the situation anyway. In gathering more information about the family, you learn that the household includes the nuclear family, and Monica’s mother, who has recently moved in due to poor health and will be living with the family indefinitely. This is a second marriage for Pete, who also has an adult son from the previous relationship. While you are talking with the family, the father’s cell phone rings. It is Monica. Pete relates that Monica wants the therapist to understand some things, and that she has tried her best to understand her 14 year old son, but he is stubborn, disrespectful and willful. During the relating of this information by the father, Tim mumbles that mom didn’t come to the session because she was passed out on the couch. Pete replies that mother is doing the best she can, and she has three other children and an elderly mother to take care of. Tim states that he often watches the younger children for his mother, while she “takes a nap”. Two other times during the session, Monica calls on the cell phone to add her opinion. Pete does not seem to mind this and agrees to pass on her thoughts to the therapist.
