Same Moment, Different Feelings W1-mt_nIl1kKZHsk-s1

  1. False · The statement is false. People can report different feelings about the same event.
  2. Different memories may shape how each child feels now · Different memories can influence reactions to the same scene. Their reactions alone do not tell us what happened to them before.
  3. Families may praise different ways of joining in · What families praise or expect can influence feelings. It does not decide how every family member will feel.
  4. Ben links his nervousness to being chased · Ben names the earlier chase and his nervousness now. His own account connects the experience to the feeling.
  5. 4 · Subtract the counts: 6 minus 2 is 4. Four more children reported excitement.
  6. They share customs but report different feelings about praise · Sana and Iman share customs but report different feelings. Culture can influence feelings without making everyone's feelings identical.
  7. An earlier storm scare might influence his fear · An earlier scare might influence Malik's fear, but his reaction does not prove it happened. Other people's excitement does not establish safety.
  8. I can listen whenever you want, without needing an explanation · Offering to listen respects the feeling and leaves the friend free not to explain. Anwar does not need to guess a cause.
