Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that negative emotions can narrow a person's thought-action repertoire, leading them to come up with a shorter list of activities or actions they would like to do compared to when they are experiencing positive emotions. Positive emotions tend to broaden an individual's attention and thinking, enabling them to conceive a wider range of possible actions.
