Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Self-discrepancy theory states that people's emotional reactions are the result of
discrepancies between their ideal and actual self-conceptions. In general, selfdiscrepancies bring about negative emotional reactions, and the greater the
discrepancies, the stronger the negative reactions. This process is affected by selfawareness inasmuch as one must be aware of a self-discrepancy before it can bring
about a negative emotional reaction. The emotional reactions that result depend on the
nature of the self-discrepancies: discrepancies between the actual and ought selves
provoke feelings of guilt, shame, and resentment, whereas discrepancies between the
actual and ideal selves provoke feelings of disappointment, frustration, and sadness.
