Transcript text: Vulnerability to external stress is heightened by all of the following except:
a Limited adaptability
b Diminished Attention
c Internal sensitivity
d Increased exposure
Solution
Answer
The answer is c Internal sensitivity
Explanation
Option a: Limited adaptability
Limited adaptability can heighten vulnerability to external stress because individuals may struggle to adjust to changing circumstances or cope with stressors effectively.
Option b: Diminished Attention
Diminished attention can increase vulnerability to stress as it may impair an individual's ability to focus on tasks, manage stressors, and make effective decisions.
Option c: Internal sensitivity
Internal sensitivity refers to an individual's internal emotional or psychological responses, which are not directly related to external stressors. Therefore, it does not heighten vulnerability to external stress in the same way as the other options.
Option d: Increased exposure
Increased exposure to stressors can heighten vulnerability as it means more frequent or intense encounters with stress-inducing situations, leading to greater overall stress.
