Passage Summary: Students who bottle up their emotions surprisingly seem to do better in school and social life than those who are open about their feelings.

Reasoning: A study found that students who repress their feelings (repressors) actually have better social skills, grades, and self-esteem than those who express them (sensitizers).

Analysis: This is an 'Except' question, meaning four of the answers will provide a plausible explanation for why repressors seem so well-adjusted, and one will not. When dealing with human behavior like this, consider that 'repressors' might simply be reporting higher self-esteem because they are repressing the very thoughts that would lower it. Alternatively, perhaps social success requires a certain level of emotional restraint. The correct answer will be the one that either does nothing to explain these positive traits or perhaps even makes the repressors' situation seem worse.
