Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a personal stressor: it is a stress-inducing event or condition that directly affects an individual on a personal level, often involving their own experiences or close relationships.
Analyze each option to determine whether it involves a direct personal experience or is more of an indirect or vicarious stressor.
Recognize that 'Reading about economic downturns in the news' and 'Hearing about a natural disaster in another country' are examples of indirect stressors, as they do not involve direct personal impact.
Identify that 'Watching a stressful scene in a movie' is a simulated or vicarious stressor, not a real personal event.
Conclude that 'Experiencing the loss of a close family member' is a direct, personal event that causes stress, making it the correct example of a personal stressor.
