Question:
Which of the following is true about daily hassles?
Options:
They have no impact on an individual's well-being.
They are frequently reported by people in certain professions.
They are always shared and resolved collectively.
They are major life events that cause upheaval.
Correct Answer:
They are frequently reported by people in certain professions.
Explanation:
Daily hassles can have a significant impact on an individual's psychological well-being. Certain professions may involve frequent daily hassles, which can affect the person coping with them. 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. 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.
