Compared to sensitizers, why are repressors less shy and anxious, better able to tolerate frustration, and have superior social skills, higher grades, and a greater sense of self-esteem?

This is an EXCEPT question. The four wrong answers will connect repression of upsetting thoughts and feelings with the features associated with repressors or connect expression of distress with the features associated with sensitizers.

Better ability to focus on work and to avoid distractions could explain why repressors have higher grades than sensitizers.

Less likelihood of alienating people through expression of emotions could explain why repressors have better social skills and a greater sense of self-esteem.

Being more likely to be rewarded for academic performance and desirable social behavior could explain why repressors get better grades and have superior social skills.

Even if we accept this hypothesis, this reverses the direction of the relationship we want to explain. It helps establish that desire for success/self-esteem can intensify repressors’ repression. But how could repression lead to success/self-esteem?

Less focus on things that are likely to contribute to success might explain why sensitizers have worse grades, worse self-esteem, and less ability to tolerate frustration.
