The statement "Stressful situations can bring out our best" is true.
While stress can often be challenging and overwhelming, it can also serve as a motivator and can help individuals perform better in certain situations. For example, some people thrive in high-pressure environments and may find that stress enhances their focus and productivity.
The other statements are not accurate:
- Stress is not always avoidable, as it can be a natural response to various life events.
- The classification of stress into “marginal”, “normal”, and “help! I’m dying here” is not a standard psychological classification.
- Stress is not typically classified into just two types, interpersonal and extracurricular, as stress can arise from various sources including but not limited to personal, professional, and environmental factors.
