Question

Patti's company recently reorganized for the second time this year. As part of the reorganization she was promoted, which has caused a significant increase in the time she spends in the office. Yesterday, she received a speeding ticket as she was racing back to the office from the mall with her Christmas gifts. What type of stressor is Patti most likely feeling?

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Situational

Explanation:

A situational stress is caused when a person experiences stress during situations like looking for acceptance in the eyes of your group, conflict situations, emergency situations etc. A situational stress is caused when an individual tends to cope up with his/her prior situations or actions.

As Patti is undergoing stress due to the promotional she got, hence such a stress will be termed as situational stress which will end when Patti gets used to the circumstances.
