Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definition of a cataclysmic event in psychology: it refers to a sudden, large-scale, and often traumatic event that affects many people simultaneously, such as natural disasters or major accidents.
Review each option and evaluate whether it fits the criteria of a cataclysmic event based on its scale and impact.
Recognize that having a disagreement with a coworker is a personal, interpersonal stressor and does not affect a large group simultaneously.
Identify that moving to a new apartment and experiencing daily traffic congestion are examples of personal or chronic stressors, not sudden large-scale events.
Conclude that a major earthquake affecting an entire city fits the definition of a cataclysmic event because it is sudden, large-scale, and impacts many people at once.
