Answer to Question 1

Answer: Attributions involve how people perceive causes, their beliefs about cause-effect relations. Attribution errors can play a prominent role in the development of psychopathology. For example, a person who attributes a bad event to internal, stable, and global causes is more at risk for depression. So a student getting a bad grade who says I'm stupid will feel more helpless and ultimately more depressed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Emotions, internal feeling states, are essential to human experience and to our understanding of mental disorders. The six basic emotions are love, joy, surprise, anger, sadness, and fear.
