Question

The number of hassles people experience is _____ correlated with the frequency of such problems as the flu, a sore throat, and backaches. The number of uplifts people experience is _____ correlated with the frequency of these sorts of problems.

Answer 1

The answer is positively and negatively, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that the frequency of some diseases and conditions affects a person's mood in a negative way (they might feel irritable or tired); the same way, a lack of these conditions is related to a positive or "uplifting" attitude.

For example, some studies show that a common cold causes impairment in mood, memory and alertness.
