Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of stressors in psychology: Stressors are events or conditions that cause stress, which can be either positive (eustress) or negative (distress).
Recognize that both positive and negative stressors involve a change or challenge that requires the individual to respond or adapt in some way.
Evaluate each option by considering whether it applies to both positive and negative stressors. For example, positive stressors are not exclusively caused by negative life events, so that option is incorrect.
Consider the effects of stressors on motivation and energy: positive stressors often increase motivation and energy, while negative stressors may decrease them, so the option stating both decrease motivation and energy is incorrect.
Reflect on health outcomes: not all stressors always result in harmful health outcomes, especially positive stressors can have beneficial effects, so the option stating both always result in harmful health outcomes is incorrect.
