Less controllable stressors are which of the following?

• A. A Strategy For Managing Stress That Includes Approaching Stress From Two Different, Complementary, And Interrelated Angles
• B. Subject To Our Reassessment By Either Changing The Situations And Events Themselves In Such A Way That Our Related Feelings Are More Manageable Than They Otherwise Would Be Or By Changing Our Response By Reframing Our Perceptions To Be More Constructive
• C. The Anxiety Or Apathy That Results From Feeling Threatened Or Overwhelmed By Something -- Is Both Real And A Rational Response To Many Circumstances We Face, Both At Work And In Our Personal Lives
• D. Events Or Situations That Evoke Our "Fight Or Flight" Response Or "Emotional Hijack" And Include Mild Performance Anxiety And Sensing When Others Are Taking Advantage Of Us

Answer: (D)

Less controllable stressors are those that trigger automatic, body-driven responses you can’t easily change in the moment. The option that describes events that evoke the fight-or-flight response or an emotional hijack fits this idea best, because these reactions happen quickly and often outside conscious control. It also includes mild performance anxiety and sensing when others are taking advantage, which are common examples of stressors that you can’t simply will away by changing the situation or reinterpreting it on the fly. In contrast, other descriptions emphasize actively changing the situation or reframing perceptions to manage stress, which applies more to stressors you can influence, not those that provoke automatic, less controllable responses.
