Answer to Question 1

Answer: E

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
Answers should include the following points:
1) Current moods (affect) can cause us to react either positively or negatively to current stimuli.
2) Affect can cause greater or lesser reliance on heuristic or controlled thought processes. Positive moods tend to increase our use of heuristics and stereotypes; negative moods tend to increase our efforts to use controlled processes.
3) Affect can directly influence memory through either mood dependent memory or mood congruence effects.
4) Affect influences creativity and can influence judgments even when we consciously try to ignore it.
5) Cognitive processes influence affective states by allowing us to interpret emotional events either positively or negatively.
6) Cognition allows us to activate schemas that contain strong affective components.
7) Cognitive efforts to directly or indirectly influence our current affective state may make use of counterfactual thinking, and we may yield to temptation in order to modify our affective state briefly.
