Question:

What are the effects of daily hassles on an individual's psychological well-being?

Options:

They have no impact on well-being.

They can lead to poorer psychological well-being.

They are insignificant compared to major life events.

Correct Answer:

They can lead to poorer psychological well-being.

Explanation:

Hassles are the individual stressors that we encounter in our daily lives, arising from various circumstances such as noisy environments, commuting, difficult neighbors, power and water shortages, and traffic congestion. Housewives often experience the daily hassle of attending to numerous emergencies. Certain occupations are more prone to frequent daily hassles. These everyday annoyances can sometimes have profound consequences for individuals, particularly when they must handle them alone as others may be unaware of these issues as outsiders. The more individuals report stress stemming from daily hassles, the lower their psychological well-being tends to be.
