Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The major point made in the textbook is that social psychology is becoming increasingly integrated with new integrative fields of science, such as cognitive science. One important component of this is the larger role that biological processes are playing in social psychological explanations. In addition, heightened interest in positive psychology holds out hope of helping people to become happier in their daily functioning.
