Given below are two Statements : Statement I : The direction of flow of emotional energy is changed through the process of redirection and sublimation from an undesirable goal to a socially desirable one. Statement II : Catharsis is a desirable method in which channels are provided for the release of the emotional energy. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Concept: Both statements describe healthy, socially acceptable ways of managing emotional (instinctive) energy, drawn from psychology of emotion and adjustment. We test each independently.
Statement I is true: Through redirection and sublimation, the flow of emotional energy is diverted away from an undesirable or socially unacceptable goal towards a socially desirable, constructive one. Sublimation, in particular, channels blocked or unacceptable impulses into valued activities such as art, sport, music or academic work - so the energy is not suppressed but re-aimed.
Statement II is true: Catharsis is a desirable method that provides safe channels or outlets (talking, writing, crying, creative expression) for releasing pent-up emotional energy. This release relieves inner tension and helps restore emotional balance and mental well-being.
Since both describe recognised, valid techniques for handling emotional energy, both statements are true, so the combination "both true" is correct.
Why the other options are wrong: Any option marking either statement false is incorrect, because both redirection/sublimation and catharsis are genuinely accepted, constructive methods - neither statement contains an error.
Takeaway: Sublimation re-channels energy to a higher goal; catharsis releases it safely - both are healthy, not harmful.
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
