Summary Introduction

Introduction

Life changes can be either positive or negative, minor or significant, and sometimes making such a transition can prove extremely difficult. Making such a life change, even if positive, can be a very challenging endeavor. However, without making modifications to your practices and behaviors when endeavoring a new transition, this type of alteration to your life ends up becoming more stressful.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Correct answer and explanation

The best answer is (B), in which positive life changes can still prove stressful due to adjustment being required. Making a major life change, even a positive one, is by no means an easy task. Such a change can take us away from people and places we have known virtually all of our lives. Even if the reason for making the life change was beneficial and positive in some respect, it can still be a difficult move to make. However, without adjusting to the new situation, even positive life changes can still be stressful.

Explanation for incorrect statements

Option (A) refers to loneliness. However, loneliness describes a feeling of sadness due to increased isolation from others, which can actually do more to compound one's stress. So, option (a) is incorrect.

Option (C) refers to depression. However, depression describes an emotional state containing severe despondency and dejection, which would only exacerbate feelings of stress. So, option (c) is incorrect.

Option (D) refers to none of the above. However, research shows that without adjusting to a new situation, making a life change can prove especially more stressful. So, option (d) is incorrect.

Therefore, the options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.
