Self-verification also occurred reliably when neither the perceiver nor the target were highly certain of their beliefs. The only time in which the targetâs behavior reliably showed behavioral confirmation was when perceivers were highly certain of their beliefs, and targets were uncertain of their self-concepts. pp. 72
The response by your body is sometimes called the âfight or flightâ response. Adrenergic drugs stimulate the same nerves by either mimicking the action of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine or stimulating its release. They are used for many life-threatening conditions.
Beta blockers block the action of endogenous catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) -in particular on adrenergic beta receptors, of the sympathetic nervous system, which mediates the fight-or-flight response.1-adrenergic receptors are located mainly in the heart and in the kidneys. Î²2-adrenergic receptors are located mainly in the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, liver, uterus, vascular smooth muscle, and skeletal muscle. Î²3-adrenergic receptors are located in fat cells.
