Which of the following is a productive response to fear and anxiety?

Freezing
Over-reacting
Increase in sensory acuity
Responding inappropriately

The correct answer is: Increase in sensory acuity

A productive response to fear and anxiety involves an increase in sensory acuity. This means that when a person feels fear or anxiety, their ability to notice and process sensory information can heighten. This heightened awareness can lead to better decision-making and a greater understanding of the environment, allowing the individual to assess threats more accurately and respond in a more effective manner. In situations that provoke fear or anxiety, having increased sensory acuity can serve as a beneficial mechanism. It may help individuals to recognize potential dangers, assess them rationally, and take proactive steps to address the situation. This approach contrasts with less productive responses, which may limit one's ability to respond effectively to challenges or stressors.
