C) overestimate; overestimate
D) underestimate; underestimate

Answer 1

Answer:

(B). Underestimate; overestimate

Explanation:

The concept of immune neglect suggests that we "UNDERESTIMATE" our capacity to be resilient in responding to negative life events, and therefore "OVERESTIMATE" the extent to which a negative event will reduce our well-being.

Immune neglect refers to the unconsciousness of forecasters about their ability to respond to and cope with adverse outcomes.

Evidence shows we underestimate our capacity to withstand emotional storms, to weaken our process satisfaction, we normally misjudge how good or bad we're going to feel about an event.

Studies show that people overestimate to what degree changes in life can affect their satisfaction, We're inclined to respond to big shifts in our lives, positive or negative.
