Explanation:

Valence refers to the pleasantness or unpleasantness of an emotion. Anxiety is an unpleasant emotion (unpleasant valence), while excitement on an amusement - park ride is a pleasant emotion (pleasant valence). Arousal refers to the level of energy or activation in an emotion. Both anxiety (high - energy worry) and excitement on a ride (high - energy thrill) are high - arousal states. So the key is on valence.

Answer:

unpleasant valence; pleasant valence
