What response is typically triggered during emotional hijacking?

Calm reflection
Intense "fight or flight" response
Heightened cognitive processing
Increased empathy

The correct answer is: Intense "fight or flight" response

During emotional hijacking, individuals typically experience an intense "fight or flight" response. This phenomenon occurs when a person encounters a situation that elicits a strong emotional reaction, often overriding rational thought processes. The amygdala, a part of the brain responsible for processing emotions, becomes activated during this state, leading to immediate and instinctive reactions to perceived threats. As a result, critical thinking can be compromised, and individuals may react impulsively or defensively without fully considering their actions or the potential consequences. This is why emotional hijacking can lead to behaviors that are not well thought out, often leaving individuals feeling regretful once the initial emotional surge subsides.
