Question

A musician desires to compose a new classical piece. He attempts to work and practice multiple times throughout the week; however, he is continuously interrupted by his neighbor. The musician confronts the neighbor and the neighbor apologizes, telling him how he has also been attempting to compose a classical piece. After hearing this, the musician re-evaluates his neighbor and sees him in a positive light. Why does the musician change his perception of the neighbor?

Answer 1

Answer:People evaluate goal-related stimuli as positive.

Explanation:

The reason the neighbor keeps interrupting the musician is not based on being rude or being a bad neighbor but it is solely based on the fact that he is also an individual who want to see themselves playing the same music. As a result when this musician plays classical piece it evokes the same feeling from him.
