Answer to Question 1

a . There are two main consequences to thought suppression.
i. Automatic processes keep a look out for anything that might remind one of the unwanted thought.
ii. Deliberate processes redirect attention away from the undesirable thought.
iii. Ironically, though, when the deliberate system relaxes, the automatic system continues its vigilance, leading people to actually think more about the thought they intended to suppress.
b. Distraction and rumination are better at suppressing thoughts than directly trying to suppress them. People will actually think less about it if they distract themselves or if they allow themselves to think about it in a ruminative fashion.

Answer to Question 2

B
