1. C. You think that there is no solution on your current situation.
This thought reflects a negative mindset, which is typical of negative stress,
while the other options represent more positive or optimistic thinking, which is
associated with positive stress (also known as eustress).
2. C. Stress is not emotional
This statement is false because stress often has emotional effects, such as
anxiety, mood swings, and irritability. Stress can indeed impact emotions and
lead to emotional responses, while the other statements are true.
3. B. Stress management
Stress management refers to developing skills and techniques that help
individuals cope with and adapt to life's pressures and challenges effectively.
4. D. Stress management teaches us to avoid all kinds of stress.
This statement is not true because stress management does not focus on
avoiding all kinds of stress but rather on how to cope with and manage stress
effectively. Stress is a natural part of life, and stress management aims to help
individuals handle stress in a healthy way.
5. D. A and B are correct
In small quantities, stress can be beneficial as it can motivate and help
individuals perform better (eustress), while too much stress can be harmful
and lead to negative health effects.
6. D. All of the above
When assessing yourself for stress, it's important to ask questions about
where you feel stress in your body, how you recognize when you are stressed,
and how you react to stress. All of these factors can help you understand your
stress levels and how to manage them effectively.
7. D. All of the above
All of the listed mindfulness meditation techniques—Body Scan, Walking
Meditation, and Mindful Eating—can help relieve stress by promoting
relaxation, increasing awareness, and fostering a mindful approach to daily
activities.
8. B. Stress
Stress is a reaction to an input or situation that disturbs physical and mental
balance, prompting a response to restore equilibrium.
9. B. Stress as stimulus
The examples provided, such as a high-stress job, overcrowding, and long
commutes, are types of stressors or stimuli that can cause stress. This
category focuses on the sources or triggers of stress.
10. C. Stress as response
These activities—deep abdominal breathing, focusing on soothing words,
visualizing tranquil scenes, repeating prayers, yoga, and tai chi—are
techniques used to manage and respond to stress. They help in reducing the
physiological and psychological impact of stress, focusing on the individual's
response to stress rather than the stressors themselves.
11. D. Stress as relational
This category refers to stress that arises from relationships and interactions
with others. The trouble from imperfect people around us, such as conflicts or
difficulties in relationships, falls under this category of stress.
12. A. If you ignore stress, it will go away.
This statement is not true because ignoring stress typically does not make it
go away. Stress often requires active management and coping strategies to
address and alleviate its effects.
13. C. Easily giving up with life challenges and doubting yourself
This statement does not describe mental health, as it reflects a negative
mindset and difficulty coping with challenges, which is contrary to the positive
attributes of mental health.
14. A. TV news
While TV news can impact your mood and stress levels, the factors listed in B,
C, and D—pressure from school activities, financial issues, and family
problems—are more direct influences on your well-being. TV news is generally
considered an external source of information and may not have as direct an
impact as personal pressures and problems.
15. D. All of the above
All of the listed activities—finding something funny in a difficult situation,
developing a support network, and taking a mindful walk—can serve as
effective stress busters. They help in managing and reducing stress through
humor, social support, and mindfulness.
