b. emotional intelligence incident
c. emotion
d. mood
e. locus of control problem

Answer 1

Giorgio is feeling an emotion due to the anger from having to work late because of his co-worker's mistakes. Jane's attribution of her bad grade to her professor's dislike reflects an external locus of control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giorgio is experiencing a emotion due to his frustration and anger at his co-worker Petra for her errors, which resulted in him having to work late. Emotions are immediate, specific responses to environmental events, typically brief, and characterized by coordinated sets of responses (such as physiological, cognitive, and behavioral responses).

An example of an internal locus of control is someone who believes their outcomes are a result of their own efforts, while an external locus of control is when someone attributes their outcomes to external factors such as luck or other people's actions. Jane's belief that her bad grade is due to her professor's personal dislike of her indicates an external locus of control.
