Distinguish between negative and positive life changes in terms of the amount of stress they produce
What will be an ideal response?
Contrary to Holmes and Rah's prediction that all life changes result in stress and,
potentially, health problems, research has shown that some changes are more stressful
than others. In particular, negative changes such as divorce produce more stress than
do positive changes such as marriage. In addition, positive changes are less likely to
have negative health consequences.
