Positive Mood and Negative Mood

1. What are some activities that can maintain a positive mood and reduce a negative mood? For example, does being with friends, viewing a comedy, or exercising reduce your negative mood and increase your positive mood?

2. Reflect on the physiological arousal you have experienced during an intense emotion. How did that arousal affect you? Did it provide information about the quality or intensity of the emotion? Or was the arousal merely your body’s preparation for action?
