Question

what is the most effective stress management strategy?
○ replicate the efforts of successful people.
○ associate with optimistic people.
○ acknowledge character flaws.
○ increase annual income.

Explanation:

Research in stress management shows that social support and exposure to optimistic mindsets can reduce perceived stress by fostering positive coping attitudes. The other options do not directly target stress regulation: replicating others' efforts may increase pressure, acknowledging flaws does not mitigate stress, and income increases do not guarantee reduced stress.

Answer:

B. Associate with optimistic people.
