Question

Jane Hastings recently joined her first job as a communication executive and is working on creating press releases for an upcoming campaign. The campaign is getting launched publicly in the next week and Hastings will need to interact with the media and give sound bites on the issue. This is the first time she will be interacting with the press and she is experiencing emotions of​ anxiousness, nervousness, and stress. Which of the following mood dimensions is she​ experiencing?

Answer 1

Answer:

High negative affect

Explanation:

High negative affect involves the concept of positive and negative affectivity. Affect here, refers to the emotions that individuals display through the stimuli we experience.

When experiencing positive affects, individuals would experience more positive emotions such as joy, enthusiasm, and cheerfulness, while during negative affects, individuals would commonly encounter emotions such as fear, sadness, and anger.

We can say that Jane is experiencing high negative affect because of this - in low negative affects, there would instead be an absence or low level of these type of emotions, which as seen in the example, is clearly not what Jane is experiencing.
