Consider the Capilano Canyon experiment (Dutton & Aron, 1974). What is the explanation for why the men crossing the more frightening suspension bridge included much more sexual content in their interviews? a. In the presence of an attractive woman, the men attempted to repress their fear. b. During times of heightened fear, people often try to distract themselves. c. Fear-provoking situations exaggerate risk-taking in all areas, including finding a mate. d. The men misinterpreted physiological signals of fear as sexual arousal.

The explanation as to what causes two individuals to be attracted to each other has been tested and researched many times over the last thirty years  Previous research has indicated that by increasing the levels of emotional arousal, which involves releasing adrenaline into the body, you are also increasing the amount of attraction between two individuals. These researchers placed individuals/couples in situations that increased their physical arousal and observed as their attraction levels to another participant also elevated. Physical arousal and attraction have been researched in a number of ways throughout the years but continues to be proven with a stronger base with each replication done.The purpose of this study was to discover if by increasing the emotional arousal of people, it is possible to show that they are sexually aroused by an attractive member of the opposite sex due specifically to the fact that adrenaline had been released into the body.
