Final answer:

The provided materials do not mention Jane McGonigal directly but discuss negative emotions such as anger, contempt, and disgust in various contexts, including loss aversion in behavioral economics and their impact on health and political engagement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question seems to be exploring the negative emotions identified by Jane McGonigal against her opponents, however, the provided materials do not directly address McGonigal's work or her views on negative emotions towards opponents. Instead, the reference materials discuss the negative emotions of anger, contempt, disgust, and highlight concepts like negative affectivity, loss aversion, and the impact of these emotions on fields like behavioral economics and health, particularly cardiovascular health.

The concept of loss aversion is particularly significant as it illustrates how people experience negative emotions like anger or frustration more intensely with loss than with equivalent gains, as found in the work by Kahneman and Tversky. The impact of negative emotions is also shown in the context of political science, where negative campaigning can lead to voter fatigue, and in health studies where prolonged experiences of negative emotions can contribute to the development of heart diseases.
