. Which of the following does not illustrate an effective way of coping with a major frustration?A. Leslie loved clothes and hoped to become a designer, so she quit her job at the convenience store and moved back to her parent's home in Arizona.B.

Cameron loved cars, but realizing he was not performing well as a car salesman, he persevered until he landed work as an apprentice mechanic.D. Tired of the long hours and low pay of his job at Burgers-R-Us, Robert began night classes in bookkeeping.

Answer 1

A. represents a situation in which the person is not handling frustration well. In the other situations, the people found they weren't doing as well as they had hoped and so they actively found ways to maneuver around this to improve their lives. Leslie gave up her job simply the move back with her parents with no indication that she would be able to support herself until she got the job she wanted. It's important to keep a source on income while chasing down a dream job.

Hope this helps! :)
