Question

study plan for chapter 3: managing stress and coping with life’s challenges
part f - lo 6, explain key individual factors that may influence whether or not a person is able to cope with stressors
stress can come from both external and internal factors. individual factors like negative interpretation of events, low self - esteem, anxiety, and poor coping mechanisms can all contribute to stress levels. from the list below, select the correct description of psychological hardiness, psychological resilience, or \shift and persist\ strategies.
∘ psychologically resilient people are those who maintain and regain their psychological well - being even when facing difficult life challenges
∘ individuals who view their stressors in a more negative light and persist in thinking these negative thoughts are using \shift and persist\ strategies and suffer more stress than others.
∘ when a person has a strong sense of control, he or she is more likely to blame others for negative issues in life
∘ people who are psychologically hardy often lack commitment and shy away from challenges

Explanation:

• For the option about "shift and persist" strategies: "Shift and persist" actually involves positive adaptation, so viewing stressors negatively and persisting in negative thoughts is incorrect.
• For the option about sense of control: A strong sense of control usually leads to taking responsibility rather than blaming others, so this is incorrect.
• For the option about psychological hardiness: Psychologically hardy people embrace challenges and have commitment, so the description of lacking commitment is wrong.
• For the option about psychological resilience: The definition of psychologically resilient people matching those who maintain and regain well - being during difficult challenges is correct.

Answer:

A. Psychologically resilient people are those who maintain and regain their psychological well - being even when facing difficult life challenges
