Which statement below correctly identify the difference between a mood and an emotion? I) Emotions are often in response to a specific event, while moods are usually not. II) Moods are relatively intense, while emotions are not. III) Emotions are usually fleeting, while moods are relatively long-lasting.

Alright, so which statements below correctly identify the difference between a mood and an emotion? Let's just run through them and check off the ones that are correct. So the first one reads, emotions are often in response to a specific event while moods usually are not and that is accurate. For emotions we kind of need a specific stimulus or event to trigger them whereas moods kind of can come from nowhere or not an easily identifiable source. So that first one is correct.

And then our third one reads, emotions are usually fleeting while moods are relatively long lasting, and that is accurate. Emotions tend to last for minutes at a time or as moods can last for hours or even days. So based on that our answer is going to be b. Statements 13 are both accurate in describing the difference between mood and emotion. And there you go!
