Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

Ideally, students will provide an example from each, or several, of the coping categories, and their descriptions will reflect accurate understanding of the categories. Some examples should be identified as containing elements of more than one category. For example, a student might describe talking with a friend as a way of coping with stress. This method could be seen as a vehicle for emotional release, and it could also lead to reappraisal. Quite likely, the mechanism of humor enters into this technique as well. In order to come up with a technique that doesn't fit any of the categories, a student will probably need to be quite creative. Often, when students claim that a particular technique doesn't fit into one of the categories, it will be because they don't thoroughly understand the categories.

The serious consequences of _____ are BEST described as resulting from the illness's negative effect on the body's immune system.
