The text suggests that arousal thrives on transgression and heightened emotional intensity.
Infact verdict: Mixed (53/100).
The claim that arousal thrives on transgression and heightened emotional intensity is partially supported by psychological theories. The Yerkes-Dodson Law suggests that performance improves with moderate arousal but declines when arousal is too low or too high. This indicates that arousal is linked to emotional intensity. However, the specific link between arousal and transgression is not directly supported by the evidence. The sources discuss arousal in terms of physiological and psychological activation related to emotional intensity but do not explicitly connect it to transgression. Therefore, the claim is somewhat plausible but lacks direct evidence for the transgression aspect.
