Accident causing action may be influenced by what emotional states?

• A. Disappointment
• B. Worry, anger, fear
• C. Happiness
• D. Relaxation

Answer: (B)

Emotions influence actions in the shop by altering attention, judgment, and motor control, which can lead to unsafe decisions or movements. Worry, anger, and fear are strong negative states that disrupt safe work: worry can pull your cognitive focus away from the task and hazard awareness, making you more prone to mistakes; anger can drive impulsive choices and rushing through steps, skipping safety checks; fear can cause hesitation or panic, leading to misjudgments or abrupt, unsafe reactions. These emotional states are more likely to produce accident‑prone behavior than calm states like happiness or relaxation, which tend to support steadier, more deliberate actions and adherence to safety procedures.
