Janae Graham · Answer 1

The best answer would be B. A correlation has been established between negative emotion and life dissatisfaction. This is because there was no direct mentioning or direct link of the construct of forgiveness and/or stress management, thus, not adding research or 'supporting' to the effects of forgiving others and managing stress.

Shayla Cole · Answer 2

I believe the answer is: C. A connection has been established between forgiveness and increased negative emotion.

Research shows that when people receive a forgiveness for their wrongdoings, the level of cortisol in their body would be decreased.

When this happen their stress level tend to be decreased and created an increase in positive emotion.
