Question

Statement - I : We are motivated to re-evaluate our beliefs, attitudes, opinions or values occurred at two different time.
Statement - II : The difference due to some intervention occurred at either point of time motivates us to search a newer option and thus satisfies our mind/ anxiety.
Code :

The correct answer is
Statement - I is correct, Statement - II is not correct.

Statement I Evaluation

Statement I posits that the motivation to re-evaluate beliefs, attitudes, opinions, or values occurs across two different time points. This is a fundamental aspect of cognitive change and learning. Comparing current perspectives or states with those from a past time point naturally triggers evaluation and potential re-assessment, especially if experiences or information have changed. Therefore, this statement is considered correct as it describes a common psychological process.

Statement II Evaluation

Statement II suggests that a difference caused by an intervention at either time point specifically motivates searching for a newer option to satisfy the mind or anxiety. While interventions can indeed lead to cognitive dissonance or a need for re-evaluation, the outcome isn't always the search for a "newer option." Resolution might involve changing one's own attitude, justifying the intervention, or seeking information that confirms existing beliefs, rather than necessarily finding something entirely new. The statement's specific causal link and prescribed resolution method make it potentially inaccurate or overly narrow. For example, cognitive dissonance theory emphasizes reducing the inconsistency, which doesn't strictly require adopting a "newer option."

Conclusion on Statements

Based on the analysis, Statement I accurately describes a process of comparative re-evaluation over time. Statement II presents a specific, and not universally applicable, outcome of interventions leading to anxiety satisfaction through the adoption of new options. Thus, Statement I is correct, and Statement II is not correct.
