You ran out of money while you and your friends were shopping at the mall, but your other two friends still had plenty of money left. One of them even had her dad’s credit card. When it was time to pay for the identical jeans each of you decided to purchase, you took the credit card from your friend’s purse without her knowledge to make your purchase. Which emotion would you most likely feel?

a. the learned emotion fear

b. the learned emotion guilt

c. the primary emotion hate

d. the primary emotion shame

i think b

Yes.

In this scenario, the emotion you would most likely feel is guilt (option b). Guilt is a learned emotion that arises when you recognize that you have done something wrong or violated a moral or ethical standard. Taking someone else's credit card without their knowledge or permission is considered a dishonest and unethical act, which is likely to trigger feelings of guilt. Guilt is a complex emotion that can vary in intensity and may involve a sense of remorse, regret, or responsibility for one's actions.
