Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Both II and III

Emotion is a mental state associated with fear, anger, love, etc. It is associated with a feeling of pleasure and displeasure. Every emotion is followed by psychological changes like a rapid heartbeat. 

• Emotions make everyday experiences in life enjoyable- this statement is not completely true because negative emotions like fear, anger, etc. do not make your everyday life enjoyable.
• Emotions serve as the motives of our behavior.
• Emotional deprivation leads to personality impairment.
• Emotions or emotional approach is a psychological construct that involves the use of emotional processing and emotional expression in response to a different situation.
• Emotions are experienced as positive feelings, negative feelings, undesired reactions to any stressful situation, these often impact decision making i.e. cognition.
• The Emotional Approach involves the conscious use of emotional expression and processing to better deal with stressful situations.

Hence, we conclude that only 2nd and 3rd statements about emotions are correct.
