Question

"stress triggered by pleasant stressors is called distress.
a. True
b. False"

Answer 1

The answer is false.

Distress is a state in which a person shows maladaptive behaviour. This happens because an individual can’t adapt to stressors and the stress they produce. Thus, people under constant distress are often likely to become sick.

Eustress is the opposite of distress. It is a positive stress that motivates people.
