Which of the following statements about stress is TRUE?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question restated: Which of the following statements about stress is TRUE?

Option 1: 'The effects of stress are mainly psychological.' While stress clearly has psychological components, this statement ignores the substantial physiological, behavioral, and cognitive effects that stress can produce. It is overly reductive to claim effects are mainly psychological.

Option 2: 'For the most part, an event is either inherently threatening, or it is not.' This reflects a simplistic, binary view. In reality, whether an event feels threatening often depends on how an individual interprets and appraises the situation, not solely on the event itself.

Option 3: 'Only negative events are stressful.' This is incorrect because both positive and negative events can be stressful (for example, deadlines can be stressful even if the event is desirable), and the stress response is tied to appraisal rather than valence alone.

Option 4: 'Stress depends to a large extent on how events are interpreted.' This captures the core idea of transactional models of stress, where primary and secondary appraisals determine the stress response; interpretation and appraisal drive whether an event is perceived as threatening and how one copes.

Putting the pieces together, the true statement is the one that emphasizes appraisal and interpretation as central to the stress experience, while the other options rely on oversimplifications or incorrect assumptions about the nature of stress.
