Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

In the earlier days of social cognition research in the 1970s and 1980s, the dominant
perspective was called cold because it emphasized the role of cognition and
deemphasized the role of emotion and motivation in explaining social psychological
issues. This was contrasted with a hot perspective, focusing on emotion and
motivation as determinants of our thoughts and actions. Today there is growing interest
in integrating both hot and cold perspectives, as researchers study how individuals'
emotions and motivations influence their thoughts and actions, and vice versa. For
example, researchers examine how motivations we aren't even consciously aware of
(such as being motivated to treat others fairly, or being motivated to feel superior to
others) can bias how we interact with or interpret information about another person
(Dunning, 2015 Hggins & Scholer, 2015 Moskowitz, 2014 Spencer et al., 2005).
