Mark has been struggling with his brother's addiction problem. He decides to talk to his wife, Mei, about the problem.

Mark: "Mei, I'm really scared about how John is doing, I keep thinking I'll get a phone call from the police saying he's overdosed."

1. Provide an example of what Mei could say in response that would be considered negative support. (1 point)
2. Provide an example of something that Mei could say that would be considered positive emotional support

Lee's friends Patrice and Carolanne have a new friend, Sally, who he has only met a few times at gatherings that Patrice has held at her house. He learns that Sally is having a Halloween party but he isn't invited, although he learns several of their other mutual friends are going to the party, even though they don't know Sally that well either.

1. 1. What attribution for his lack of an invitation from Patrice and Carolanne could Lee make that would be maladaptive (negative) and therefore have the effect of making him less happy with his friendship with Patrice and Carolanne? (1 point) (HINT: We don't care about Sally! Lee's attribution shouldn't be about Sally's behaviour, but about Patrice and Carolanne's behaviour)
   2. What positive or benevolent attribution could Lee make about his lack of invitation from Patrice and Carolanne that would help him continue to feel happy with his relationship with Patrice and Carolanne?
