Jenna and Karen are close friends. Jenna is generally upbeat, with a glass-half-full attitude toward life. Karen tends to be the opposite, and she often interprets events somewhat negatively.
  If their behaviors and attitudes are consistent with patterns identified by research, of the following, which is the best description of the influence that Jenna's attitude and outlook on life will have on Karen's emotions?
 
  a. Karen's emotional outlook will become more positive as a result of Jenna's influence.
  b. As a result of Jenna's influence Karen will strive to behave in more positive ways, but her emotional outlook will be largely unaffected.
  c. Recognizing that Jenna is upbeat and she isn't, Karen is likely to become somewhat irritated with Jenna and will develop a more negative emotional outlook as a result of her social connections with Jenna.
  d. People's emotions are largely out of their conscious control, so Jenna's emotional outlook won't influence Karen's emotions one way or the other.
