Answer 1

Harm/loss appraisals have higher levels of negative emotions compared to challenge appraisals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Harm/loss appraisals have higher levels of negative emotions compared to challenge appraisals. When individuals appraise a particular situation as harmful or leading to loss, they are more likely to experience negative emotions as a result.

This is because harm/loss appraisals focus on the potential negative consequences and the lack of control over the situation, leading to heightened levels of distress and negative emotional response.
